- Thread-topic: How to replace old version of product?
I have everything working nicely -- except that my installer won't replace
an older version of my product if it finds one installed.
I assume I have to configure the Patch button in each component's
Configuration pane. But I can't find any instructions about how to do that.
The Save button is only enabled when the text field is empty. It remains
disabled no matter what I type into the field, even the path to the product
("/Applications/Event Taps Testbench.app").
The instructional text in the Configuration pane, "No patch root selected,"
means absolutely nothing to me -- what is a patch root? I can't browse for
an older version of my product because I don't have one just lying around. I
chose FireFox just to see what would happen, and "/Applications/FireFox.app"
appeared in the text box and the Save button became enabled. But the moment
I try to edit it, the text field reverts to empty.
And what do I do if I want the installer to replace ANY older version of my
product? What if some older versions had different names?
I guess, until all these UI bugs are fixed, I have to install an older
version of my app on my development machine just so I can drag it onto this
field. Will that do the trick?
C'mon Apple. You want us to deliver product for the platform, don't you?
Getting PackageMaker 3 right ought to be an extremely high priority. Why do
I find more than a dozen major-major bugs that interfere with its everyday
use? (Still frustrated.)
