Hi everyone,
I'm trying to figure out how the "patch" options works in PackageMaker 3.
I start off with a new PackageMaker project, fill in the package identifier the same as for the initial installer, the package version goes up one number (1.0.3.2 -> 1.0.3.3), I select the new .app and the old one under "patch", PackageMaker then calculates the difference and this seems to work OK because the patch package is only a few megabytes (only one dylib was changed in the app bundle).
Now when trying to install the patch on a computer were the original installer was ran, I get the error "A previous version of the install could not be found". Googeling this string returns nothing useful, nor does searching the apple mailing lists. My app is definitely there, in /Applications (default).
I think it might have to do with the "Realocation" option under "Components", I turned reallocation ON and in the reallocation options I do a combination search in /Applications for my app. The identifier field I filled in the same identifier as for my .app (CFBundleIdentifier field in Info.plist), but is this correct? Should it be the package identifier instead? And do the min/max version numbers have to be filled? Are they the package versions or the app versions (again Info.plist).
I'm confused, tried all kinds of combinations, still can't get the patch to install!!!
Any help appreciated,
