Is there a way to debug installer Javascript besides trial and error? The feature is to detect whether Premiere Pro is running, and if it is, post a warning message (because the plugin we install won't be visible until PPro restarts). The detection code is merged into distribution.dist after the package is built (using sed). I build my .mpkg on Snow Leopard w/ XCode 3.2. The installer works fine on 10.5.8 but fails on 10.6.2. system.log("Check Premiere/AME "); pproHandle = system.applications.fromIdentifier ('com.adobe.AdobePremierePro') This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com

Postflight Script Permissions
by Colin Cornaby 01 Dec '09

01 Dec '09

site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: installer-dev(a)lists.apple.com Hi, I'm having issues where some of our client's are loosing execute permissions on our install package postflight scripts, which is causing issues. Has anyone seen this happen, and perhaps seen a few of the causes? We current compress our installers in a zip... Will moving to DMG help solve this issue? I'd like to use internet enabled dmg's if we had to move over, I'd rather not leave mount points on the user's desktop.
