How to skip 'destination select' step in Iceberg installer?
Hi,
I 've developed an installer setup for mac in Iceberg software.
I m facing a critical issue when any older version of my software
is already installed and I try to install the newer one. It shows
me the alert dialog on selecting the root volume- that 'the volume
already contains the new software and this will replace the newer
one with older one. do you like to continue?'
This seems so irritating to the end user. so I would like to remove
the 'destination select' dialog completely from my installer.
Can anyone guide me how this can be possible?
You can't prevent this whatever software you use to build the package.
This is due to the fact that Installer.app (actually, probably the
Installation framework since you can install packages with installer)
keeps track of what was installed on your Mac. You would need to help
it forget something has been installed. It is usually best to do this
in the postflight script.
From Mac OS X 10.0 to 10.5, you can just get rid of the receipt in /
Library/Receipts/ (or its home folder counter part).
For Mac OS X 10.6, you would need to use the pkgutil tool and the --
forget option.
