All,
I'm trying to build an installation package (using PackageMaker.app)
that can only install to an external drive. This is for a product
that runs from an external HDD and I want the installer to be idiot-
proof. This means that I don't want the user to get confused and
install to the root volume (or any other internal drive, as well).
The installer is actually a software update to an existing product,
so there are some "sentinel" files that I know will be on the
external drive. I've tried using "Edit Package Requirements" under
the "Configuration" tab and selecting the "File Exists sentinelFile
== true" option, but this doesn't seem to work -- the root volume
still gets allowed and the external drive doesn't.
Has anyone managed to get this to work?
Thanks in advance.
Glenn Zelniker
