I needed to eliminate the path to the volume from the file name that
needs to be present.

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.
