Sometimes the installer resizes its windows and when this happens, I can see the background color which is not the same as my image. Is it possible to set background color in Package Maker, if not, what size do I need to make my image to ensure that it will always cover the entire background of the installer window (I do not want to it stretch out of proportion). -Tim *********************************************************************** This e-mail and its attachments are confidential, legally privileged, may be subject to copyright and sent solely for the attention of the addressee(s).

Package installation check...

site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: installer-dev(a)lists.apple.com Thread-index: AcoRbzzgDYtyCMgNQ/iF9Y4CvBUO0Q== Thread-topic: Package installation check... Hello, I would like to know if it's possible to run through the Installation checks on a package to see if it can even be installed on a system? For example, I have created a Test distribution package which I know will fail, it's requiring >= 20 CPU's. I would like to run a command from the command line to see if this package is applicable to this system. I have played with installer using the following args (-dominfo - volinfo -pkginfo) and they all come back with valid info but none of them seem to run the requirements to tell me that it wont install.

For example, if the package is copied to /Users/ Shared, and run from there, does the issue occur? Yes. The issue is the Installer gets disassociated from the plugins.

How long has this bug been in existence? Thanks, - tz What is going on with FileVault and PackageMaker [installer] plugins? It appears that any PackageMaker installer with a plugin breaks when FileVault is turned on. You get the error "Please insert the disc to continue installation" and you can't install.
