While developing an installer package with PackageMaker 3.0.4, one of my test computers seems to have become corrupted. The final version of the installer works perfectly on two Snow Leopard machines, but on the PPC/Leopard test machine it puts up a FAILED message when trying to run a preinstall script (or sometimes a postinstall script).The scripts are known to be good. They worked fine on this machine in previous versions of the installer, and they have not been changed. Installers for other products continue to work fine.
Since the installer works correctly on other computers and other installers work correctly on this computer, my working assumption is that something on the Leopard machine that is specific to this installer package has become corrupted. Repairing permissions, repairing the disk, and trashing Installer preference files haven't helped.
So my QUESTION is this: can somebody point me to any other places where I should look for old stuff to clean out? Or suggest other avenues of inquiry?
