Hello,

I am building a meta package on 10.5 that supports 10.3 (Install Properties).

I have two packages as:
Package 1: works on 10.6 onwards: (Gestalt – sysv >= 0x01060)
Package 2: works on 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5 (Gestalt – sysv < 0x01060)

Both the packages work fine independently.

I have checked system version with Gestalt as shown above in the requirements section for individual addition. The meta-package installs desired files on 10.4, 10.5 and 10.6. Thus Gestalt check works fine on 10.4, 10.5 and 10.6.
But on Panther (10.3) when I try to install this meta-package, both the packages are read one by one. Package-2 passes the check and shows the installation screen. But immediately the screen shows “Package-1 can not be installed on this computer” message. Thus ending with only “close” button left to select.


Changing the sequence of packages addition has no effect on this result.

Does anyone has seen such problem before?
Please suggest me how should I proceed with the package maker.

Do you use a Requirement or an InstallationCheck script for the Gestalt comparison? If you use an InstallationCheck script, which values do you return? _______________________________________________
