Hi,
I am running into an issue with my Installer where many times it will
determine that the user should be upgrading their package rather than
installing fresh. When this happens, files that are missing (usually
the application bundle that should go to /Applications) is not
installed.
I'd prefer to set my package to never have the option to upgrade and
to just always install/overwrite the existing file on the user's
Mac. I thought I could do this by adding the "pkgutil --forget
net.secondgear.mybinary" command to my postinstall script to remove it
from the receipts database, but it doesn't seem to make a difference.
What's the preferred method to handle something like this? I was
hoping there would be a magic button I could click in PackageMaker,
but sadly, it didn't seem to exist.
Any help would be appreciated.
