Hello, I am re-working our imaging strategy for a mid-size office. I have a shell script that creates a sparse image, and applies the OS, and any custom packages to the sparse image. This is working great for fairly generic packages, but I'm having some problems with Developer Tools. I downloaded the xcode 3.0 DMG. It contains a main package installer, and a couple of sub-packages. I cannot get the developer tools to install, because the package requires that I be booted off an active 10.5 volume. This causes a failure when I am trying to set the 10.5 sparse image as the destination.

As I'm not 100% sure to understand your install scenario, just in case you're trying to install the package when running on 10.4, the answer is you can't. The Xcode package is "distributed" using the new Flat package format.


If you're running on 10.5, a possible exploration path is to open the package using the Flat Package Editor, drag the Distribution file to the Desktop, edit it with a text editor, slaughter the volumecheck() method so that it just returns true. And then move the text distribution file back to the package.
