Installing different versions of a .pkg based on OS version


  • Subject: Installing different versions of a .pkg based on OS version
  • From: Dan Wilson <email@hidden>

I'm trying to build a metapackage that installs version A of a component on Tiger, and version B of the same component on Leopard. After setting the OS version requirements on each component, everything seems to work properly, but PackageMaker seems to require that each package has a different package identifier, even if the package version is different. If I manually edit the identifiers to be the same, opening the metapackage causes Installer to return an error ("Operation could not be completed. com.apple.installer.pagecontroller error -1").

Is there a way to accomplish what I'm trying to do? After a successful install, the package receipt has the package identifier shown in PackageMaker, which I expect will cause problems with upgrades.

Thanks,

Dan

PackageMaker 3.0.1
