The minimum version is 10.5. We couldn't build a version, that will work on Leopard & Snow Leopard, there is a technical reason for this, so we have 2 versions: one for leopard and another for snow leopard. We want to build an easy install. As I learned with a PackageMaker i can achieve it only by doing a custom installation. Installers like VISE or InstallerMaker allow me to install an item depending on target system. I wonder why i don't have such an obvious option with PackageMaker or other .pkg installers? Anyway what my options are?

Thanks a lot for your help

You first need to make sure you are using the latest version of PackageMaker (available with Xcode for Snow Leopard AFAIK).


1. Create a new project with Mac OS X 10.5 being the target.

2. Create your 2 packages.

3. You then just need to create a distribution with a choice requirement for each package.

4. Requirement for Snow Leopard package is that the OS version is greater than or equal to 10.6.

5. The selected state of the Leopard package should be set to be the opposite of the Snow Leopard package.


It's better to first try this without enabling the "Standard Install only" option so that you can check it works as it should by inspecting the Custom Install pane.
