Well it won't work right if they run it from the Command Line. This is an installer for basically a Windows Software Company and they want it as much like there Windows installer as possible. I brought thus up to them and they siad well it just won't work if they run it front he Command line.


Then expect enterprise customers to hate your installer and possibly your product. Any installer that can't be silently installed via the command line like this:

Well this is not for enterprise anyway. For single users anyway.



installer -pkg /apth/to/package.pkg -target /

Correct behavior for both GUI and command line is to display an error and abort the install, not to force quit the installer.

Yeah that is what I want to do. Tell them what is wrong and basically abort the install.
