1) Is this really a necessary requirement? Most installers only allow installation on the booted volume, and it's usually a good idea to require the latest subrevision, 10.6.8.



2) "InstallationCheck" can check the booted system's version (you probably want system.version.ProductVersion)
"VolumeCheck" can check the system version on the target disk (my.target.systemVersion.ProductVersion)
See also system.compareVersions()
