Hi all,
I'm trying to create a simple .pkg file that will install on 10.4 to
10.8. It should install an application bundle to /Applications and a
small support file to /Library/PDF Services. I'm using the pkgbuild
command line tool to create a package that contains both the
application bundle and the support script, then I use productbuild to
produce a archive with an altered background and license agreement.
I originally had an issue where the Installer would bail out
immediately on 10.4 or 10.5 but found out it was because my
distribution file contained some stuff from a later
installer-gui-script spec not supported on 10.5. After removing that,
the install *almost* works; it never "authenticates" (asks the user
for their password) so it can't move the files to the correct place.
The installer.log mentions a bunch of "permission denied" errors and
the install itself says "failed". It works without a problem on
10.6.8, 10.7, and 10.8.
Is there some option that I need to use that is implied on the later OSes?
Kind regards,
Dave
