I have a distribution package with about 8 components. The only purpose of one of the components is to run a postflight script that opens the folder that is being installed the other components (I can’t put the postflight script in the distribution package – it has to be within a component). If I run that component on its own, the script runs correctly. If I run the distribution package, the message flashes by that the script is running- but it never does.

Any ideas why it would work in the component and not within the distribution?

I tried to reproduce this but it worked in my case: the script opens a http URL.


To test this, I created a distribution metapackage with a post install action (this adds a package with a postflight script).


I can't check if it works multiple times because there's another bug in Installer.app that prevented me from trying again.
