Requirements Dysfunctional

Yo,

Using PackageMaker 3.01 with Leopard.

In Package Requirements set up a requirement as such:

File Exists on Target: /Applications/foldername/application_name

Required, false, is equal to true, ( i also tried true, is equal to true)

I was hoping the installer would give me a warning that the folder/file already existed, and do I want to overwrite it.

It just went ahead and overwrote the folder/file without any interruption.

How can I set this up to not overwrite. I thought that was the purpose of the Requirements setup...I am obviously missing something...

any help deeply appreciated.
