Hi,
We're developing a new version of our PackageMaker installer for an
updated product release. The product is a plug-in for another product.
We install into the user home directory, so the installer has a
minimum version of 10.5. 10.4 users do a manual install rather than a
managed install.
The parent product now has two versions available, so we want to
install our software into different locations based on which version
or versions are installed. So I have set up a component for each
parent product version.
It seems I need to add a requirement for each component to determine
whether or not to install it. I have read that you can search for the
presence of a bundle with a particular bundle ID on the user's system,
which is just what I need.
But how does this translate into PackageMaker requirement options? It
seems that some variation of the "Search Result is Found" requirement
may be what I need, but I don't know what the "component" or "search
ID" options refer to.
If this is documented somewhere, could you please point me there? I
have yet to see documentation for PackageMaker 3 that explains what
these different options in the GUI do. The PackageMaker User Guide
doesn't go into enough detail, and the Software Delivery Guide appears
to predate 10.5 and thus does not cover the PackageMaker 3 options.
Thanks,
Michael
