RE: product build and dist scripts targeted at 10.5

It might be caused by your component package name having spaces in them. I ran into a similar problem and was not able to find a true solution - even replacing the spaces with %20 in the distribution did not work for Leopard. I ended up replacing the spaces in my component package filenames with underscores; once I renamed the files and their references in the distribution, the error went away on Leopard. I'd be interested to know if that fixes your problem, or if there are any better solutions to this. -Ed > That worked perfectly. thx. > > There is another problem on 10.5.8 now though ( all is still fine on > 10.6 and up ).

The reason the installation is failing when you use "allowed-os-versions" on Leopard is because that key is only supported in OS X 10.6.6 and later. The workaround for this is to use a JavaScript function to check for the OS version in the volume check phase of the installation, something like the following: if( system.compareVersions(my.target.systemVersion.ProductVersion, '10.6.6') == -1 ) { my.result.type = 'Fatal'; my.result.message = 'This software requires Mac OS X 10.5 or above'; return(false); } Hope this helps, Ed > I changed the min version by hand just for testing purposes.
