PackageMaker 3.0.3

I'm nearing the finish line with a working package...

I have include a very simple script that just checks if a file exists. I have specified in the distribution requirements "Result of Script"

(Theoretically, I should be able to do it by setting a distribution requirement "File Exists on System", but that isn't working. It seems that it is able to produce a warning message when a file *doesn't* exist, but not when a file *does* exist which is what I want to do. Setting the Pass if... to True/False doesn't make a difference, and actually doesn't seem to change the distribution script. Actually, I edited the distribution script, but it still didn't work. So assuming I edited it right, maybe there is a problem with the actual Installer program.)

But in any case, my question is simply that when I open my package, Installer gives me the message:

"This package contains a program that determines if the software can be installed. Are you sure you want to continue?"

Is there a way to prevent this message from happening?

This message (and a similar one) is displayed in the following cases:

- there is an Installer Plugin used in the package/metapackage

- there is an external script.

You can't remove it unless you do not use one of the two items above.
