They'd automatically have an Intel version in that case. Otherwise, and probably unbeknownst to them, they'd need to reinstall to get the UB version. No. I can understand how that'd be convenient for you, but I'm still curious why you need to install fat binaries on 10.3?

In the Package's Info.plist file, you can set the flag IFPkgFlagInstallFat to true. I can't take credit for discovering this "feature". A colleague did. <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/DeveloperTools/ Conceptual/SoftwareDistribution4/Concepts/ sd_pkg_flags.html>http://developer.apple.com/documentation/ DeveloperTools/Conceptual/SoftwareDistribution4/Concepts/ sd_pkg_flags.html Also note, IFPkgFlagInstallFat is ignored on 10.4: <http://lists.apple.com/archives/installer-dev/2006/Jan/ msg00003.html>http://lists.apple.c om/archives/installer-dev/2006/ Jan/msg00003.html This email sent to mark(a)aspyr.com This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com
