Hi Greg,
Thank you for your reply. you are right, my update package only contains changed files. When installed, the files which does not contained in the update package will be deleted.
So you mean the only way is to create with a different package id and package name, right?
I will try this and check iWork updater later.
Thank you!
Best wishes,

What is it exactly you are trying to accomplish?
If what you want is a an "update" package that does not contain a full install of your software, but rather, only the changed or new files, you'll need to create a package with a different package id and name.
This has been covered before on this list - search the archives. And look at Apple's iLife and iWork updaters for examples.

Hi,
I want to disable upgrade logic in my update packge.
I found a tool named pkgutil. With parameter --forget, I can reach my goal.
But the man page of pkgutil recommend not to use this tool. It said there are better ways to permanently disable upgrade logic within a package.

But I can't find these better ways.
Can anyone kindly help me?
Thanks!
