Hello Sparta,

Maybe check to see that your requirements are not getting lost from the distribution script. Immediately after adding your requirements, in PackageMaker open raw editing open, and see what the requirements look like. Then, after building, open the built package by control-clicking and selecting Show contents. Open the .dist file with a text editor and see if the requirements are still there. If not, you can add them back in to the built package.

Hi,

Thanks for reply.

I use Requirements, do not know how to use InstallationCheck Script.
For requirements section, I use "4192" for OS 10.6 detection.

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
³Package-1 can not be installed on this computer² message. Thus
ending with only ³close² 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?
