No, we're seeing this on a clean test machine, not just in the field.
If the folder is already there with incorrect permissions, then that
would mean that the user would already have had problems with whichever
software of ours they have that writes to that folder, and they'd have
called earlier, not just after installing a new product.
And, obviously, if the folder exists with the correct permissions, then
there would be no problem at all.
The problem ONLY exists if the folder is NOT there already.

I suspect the issue is that the folder is already present with
differing preferences.
Best solution would be to script adjusting permissions in
post-install.

I had previously resolved a problem (on Lion) of our audio plug-ins
not being able to create a folder inside /Library/Application Support,
by having my installer create the folder (using Packages, and adding
the folder to the Payload, with appropriate permissions). However,
this is NOT working in Mountain Lion, apparently. I set permissions
to Read&Write for everything, but when the folder is created on the
user's hard drive, those permissions are NOT set, and our plug-ins
can't write to our folder.
How do I get our company's folder to install with the correct
permissions inside /Library/Application Support on Mountain Lion?
Thanks,
Howard
