Thank you for answering, I just want to be sure, now I have an install
script with 2 choices:
snow leopard choice requirement asks for the target OS >= 10.6
leopard choice requirement asks for the target OS < 10.6
the target of the project is 10.5, there is no higher in PM options.
If I create an easy install with such a configuration, it will install
show version on snow leopard and leopard version on leopard?
I thought PM can provide requirements for choices only in case of
custom installation.
Please confirm.
If this the case, that I just have missed the point... I have a
working installer with choices and custom installation type, but never
tried to build it as easy install only
Thanks a lot!

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.
