site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: installer-dev(a)lists.apple.com Importance: Normal Sensitivity: Normal Jon, If you are using the same test machine and not properly cleaning up Installer's history and receipts DB, it could be detecting that the package with that ID has been installed already, and therefore is skipping over it. I've heard of guys having problems like that when using the same "dirty" machine to do test runs with. I recommend digging into the docs on Installer and where it keeps track of things (/Library/Receipts and /var/db/) and how to properly clean it out so that each run you attempt is "fresh". You should be able to gin up a script to clear out the relevant entries fairly easily, so you can streamline the process. -nick -- Nick Peelman nick(a)peelman.us Sent via my BlackBerry -----Original Message----- From: Jon Hodgson <jonhodgson.devlists(a)googlemail.com> Date: Mon, 7 Jun 2010 10:38:20 To: <installer-dev(a)lists.apple.com> Subject: Installer runs, but doesn't install anything I'm building a simple installer package (not distribution or metapackage). When it runs, it seems to run just fine (including getting the admin password), and I can't see anything in the install log that seems to be saying anything like "couldn't write files" But when I look at where the files are supposed to be written (in a folder that already exists), there's nothing there. I search the system, and it's not anywhere else, so it doesn't look like the system moved it. (It's a VST plugin). The same thing happens on snow leopard and 10.4.

Custom progress bar?

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 have a post-flight shell script that takes some time. The Installer progress bar doesn't take it into account, so it gives the appearance that it's hanging at the end of the install, while the script is running. Can anyone suggest some kind of method that I could use to display my own progress bar while the script is running? Thanks, Andrew This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com
