Hi,

I have created a  sample "MyApp.app" and I am creating the Installer for it.

Case 1: Creating Installer.pkg [myapp folder contains MyApp.pkg]

$pkgbuild --analyze --root myapp myApp.plist

$pkgbuild --root myapp --component-plist myApp.plist --identifier "com.mycompany.myapp.pkg" --install-location "/Applications/" MyApp.pkg

$productbuild --synthesize --package MyApp.pkg Distribution.xml

$productbuild --distribution Distribution.xml --package-path . Installer.pkg

If I install Installer.pkg, I get following in the /var/log/install.log

Dec  9 20:11:33 RAJEKUMAR-MBP.local Installer[22102]: InstallerStatusNotifications plugin loaded

Dec  9 20:11:34 RAJEKUMAR-MBP.local Installer[22102]: ================================================================================

Case 2: Creating Installer.mpkg [myapp folder contains MyApp.pkg]

$pkgbuild --analyze --root myapp myApp.plist

$productbuild --synthesize --package MyApp.pkg Distribution.xml

$productbuild --distribution Distribution.xml --package-path . Installer.mpkg

As you can see when I am installing the Installer.mpkg the MyApp.pkg is getting installed twice. If there are some pre/post install script associated to it , then they are also executing twice. [In this run I have removed the scripts to keep things simple]

I am not able to understand this behavior .

Any help would be appreciated.
