"execute" permission for installation package scripts.

site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: installer-dev(a)lists.apple.com Hi All, To check some conditions I use a requitement script like that: <requirement id="scri" operator="ne" value="'0'"> <file>myscript</file> <message-title>MyRequirementTitle</message-title> <message>MyRequirementIsNotMetMessage</message> </requirement> Any ideas will be highly appreciated. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.

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'm building an installation package using PackageMaker 3.0.4 and for some specific reason it cannot be flat because should be accessible on Windows machine as folder (e.g. MyPackage.pkg)... So when MyPackage.pkg walks through Windows OS, requirement and installation (e.g. "preinstall") scripts lose "execute" permissions. When, for instance, no "execute" permission for "preinstall" script, it cannot be executed, and installation process fails; install.log shows the reason. However when requirement script has no "execute" permission, Installer just doesn't execute it and continues installation as if nothing had happened. In this case requirement checking doesn't work (becomes useless) and the issue is supressed. Despite of Installer leaves error messages in console.log (not in install.log), this usually stays unnoticed. Is these any way to fix "execute" permissions for requirement and installation scripts automatically on start of installation process?

Unless you're installing the application in a user's directory, which I doubt since you're installing a kext, the application will be installed in /Applications and will be at least root:admin (root:wheel if you follow what Apple does on Mac OS X 10.6).
