In their Preferences they have the 'Apply Leopard Compatibility' checkbox. So there must be a way to do this otherwise also because this program can do it. If you get I think version 2.0.1, the free trial won't ever expire. For me though this program is worth the $15 for everything it does. Plus Araelium answers their support emails and has fixed or given support to every problem that I have had so far with the program.

Destination Select Pane

site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: installer-dev(a)lists.apple.com I have a flat package installer that installs correctly but sometimes spuriously displays the "Destination Select" dialogue to the user. The installer is configured to only install on the root disk and to not allow customisation. Most times when run the "Destination Select" pane is (correctly) skipped. However, occasionally, the user is presented with the destination select option with only a single choice - "Install for all users of this computer". The option appears visually selected, but the user needs to click on it in order to proceed with the installation, causing some confusion. With the same package file, some installations almost always show this, some almost never. This is being run on 10.6.4. Any ideas as to the cause and possibly how to fix it?
