I have a command-line program that needs admin privileges in my installer package's Resources folder. I want to run this program before an upgrade.

This particular package is a sub-package of a metapackage.

The program ("foo") is in the sub-package's Resources folder.

My preupgrade script (also in Resources) basically just does this:

[preflight]

	#!/bin/sh

	$1/Contents/Resources/foo

But when I run my installer, it exits with an error but doesn't tell me what went wrong.

What am I missing?


For one, double quotes around your path, in case there's a space in it.

Another tip: you can log into the installer log using the command line tool 'logger -p install.debug'

-pmb
