I'm trying to build an installation package (using PackageMaker.app) that can only install to an external drive. This is for a product that runs from an external HDD and I want the installer to be idiot-proof. This means that I don't want the user to get confused and install to the root volume (or any other internal drive, as well). The installer is actually a software update to an existing product, so there are some "sentinel" files that I know will be on the external drive. I've tried using "Edit Package Requirements" under the "Configuration" tab and selecting the "File Exists sentinelFile == true" option, but this doesn't seem to work -- the root volume still gets allowed and the external drive doesn't. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.

Making custom install the default?

Installer-dev mailing list (Installer-dev(a)lists.apple.com) Help/Unsubscribe/Update your Subscription: http://lists.apple.com/mailman/options/installer-dev/site_archiver%40lists.… I'm building an installer metapackage that will be run in OS 10.3 - OS 10.5. What I'd like to do is make the custom install window the default rather than the easy install window. In other words after the user selects the volume they want to install to, the next pane will be the custom install pane with the list of packages to select or deselect for installation. Is this possible? If so, how? I wasn't able to find anything in the documentation or mailing lists about this. This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com

When I move this package into a HFS disk, I can run this package well. The plugin's name will display in the left pane of installer and work fine. However, if I directly run the package in the UFS, the plugin cannot display correctly and disappear from the left pane. I donot know whether bundle plugins in the installer package can work correctly with the UFS file system? Or they can only work well in the HFS? Did someone also encounter such problem? Plz do me a favor. My system version is Mac OS X 10.5(9A527). Thanks. They should work. You probably have some code that accesses a filename with slightly incorrect case (Upper Case vs lower case). Check your Info.plist files to see that they reference your plugin name exactly. This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com
