Actually,
touch -c "$2"
does work, but only the first time I run it after shutting down the computer
and restarting.
If I then set up and run my installer AGAIN (that is, trash the
newly-installed app, reinstall the old version, then re-run my installer),
it does NOT work. Or, rather, it works only half way: it updates the Date
Modified in the Finder window the second time, but it does not update the
Version column or the version information that appears in the Finder Get
Info window as it did the first time.
Weird. I wonder if this has something to do with temporary caches
remembering that the new version was installed once already during this
session. If so, then maybe this is a reasonable solution for the typical
installation scenario, where it gets installed only once.
