I am trying to create an installer (using the PM 3.x GUI) that is smart
enough to remove an older version of my program if the installer finds one
during the installation process. So far, I am trying to implement this with
a preupgrade script that looks for the (possibly) installed file and then
removes it and its prefs. At that point, I expect the installer to install
the new version.
However, the preupgrade script never seems to execute, and in my
install.log, I see reference to 'skipping MyApplication'.
I hope that this isn't too vague. I am trying to make the move over from
working with packagemaker strictly on the command line to using the gui to
make a pmdoc and run that from the command line to get around the 'relocate'
problem that I have read about (and experienced)>
Thanks for any and all advice.
Regards,
Steve O'Sullivan
