Installer 2.1.9 on 10.4.11.
When I try to open my installer package, Installer refuses, and
the console log contains the entry:
2008-02-18 15:43:38.198 Installer[2540]
IFPkg::_parseOldStyleForLanguage - can't find .info file
(ApplicationName)
(where ApplicationName is the name of the application installed,
and the name of the package)
What is this error, and how can I correct it?
UPDATE: Trying again later, I found I could open and run my
package. I'm still worried that if the error can go away by
itself, it can come back by itself. Could someone please advise
me whether I should be worried?
.info files are used in the "Mac OS X 10.0" package format.
Huh. Well, the .info file is there now. Anyone have any thoughts on
what would make it disappear for one build? (Or Installer.app miss
it for a run or two?)
Here's the invocation line:
PackageMaker -build -p ApplicationNameTest/ApplicationName.pkg -f ./
root -b /tmp -s -ds \
-r resources -i Info.plist -d Description.plist
The plists were primed with Iceberg 1.2.3, and have been hand -
edited (I thought conservatively) since . The Iceberg project did
have the "Build Mac OS X 10.1 compatible packages" box checked; I
don't need that, really, but I'd rather keep it than go into an
extended test after changing it.
Well, there is a flaw in the design of the 10.0 package format which
could explain the problem.
The name of the components inside the pckage bundle are named after
the bundle itself. If your package was named Rad5372397.pkg, then you
would get inside the Resources folder of the bundle a Rad5372397.info
file.
If you renamed the package, all hell would break loose and the
package could usually not be installed.
So one possibility is that the package was renamed at one point. But
I don't see that happening on a recent OS version.
