Ah, that's probably it. I had run the plug-in myself in that folder before,
with the "wrong" permissions, and was installing over that existing file, I
bet.
Oh well, I modified the permissions on my copies and re-built the installers
anyway, and the permissions are correct after manually deleting the file and
then installing (i.e., a "first" install). So whatever caused it, it's
working as expected now. It will be a first install for users, so it should
work fine for them, too.
Thanks,
Howard

Hi,
I've got an Iceberg installer project which creates a meta-package. One of
the Components of the package copies a VST audio plug-in to the
/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST folder. The permissions for the plug-in, as
set in the Iceberg project, are drwxrwxr-x, but in the target machine they
are set to drwxr-xr-x. I had thought that just setting them in Iceberg
itself would set the permissions I specify. But that does not seem to be
the case. Do I need to set the permissions on my own copy of the file
before building the installer, in order to get the correct permissions set
on the target?
No, you don't need to change the permission of the original file to
set the permission in the payload.
The question is: is this a first install or a previous version of the
plugin was already installed with the drwxr-xr-x permissions?
If it's a first install, the permissions set in the payload should be
the ones after installation.
If it's not a first install, you may use the Overwrite directory
permission option but this does not work on Mac OS X 10.6 (a bug in
Installer.app AFAIK).
