Hi Stephane,
Thanks for explanation. But if i include only memory requirement, it
does not create any dist file. When I add Disk space requirement and
include a preflight script along with the package it fails while
installing. If I do not include the script it works fine or vice
versa, If i include script and removed disk space requirement it
works. I think it's something to do with the dist file. I have pasted
just a line from the dist file, I tried changing it though. But i
guess you might help me out .
options customize="never" allow-external-scripts="no" ( Script fails
because of this ? ) Do i need to allow external scripts to run?

> <volume-check script="pm_volume_check();"/>
Thanks,
Vishnu
