/Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/Lightroom Thanks , Karthikeyan Hi Karthikeyan, When you insert the key in Adobe light room ,Actually you do not find the file within the package, to include the file within the package.It actually goes to /Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/Lightroom path. If you look closely on any of the VMFusion packages, there in you can actually see the license file embedded within the package. You need to just insert the right key within the package. Similar kind of option is not present in Adobelightroom. Any other suggestions? Thanks, Vishnu _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.

There is a recent thread (from June) about a similar > problem, but it was bundle-specific and discussed BundleOverwriteAction. The first 2 things to check would be: #1. Did you install the previous version using an installation package? Because if you didn't, then the installation process has no way to figure out some files have been removed. #2. If you installed the previous version using an installation, are the 2 packages sharing the same identifier? Because if they don't, the installation process has no way to figure out that it's the same "installer" and to remove files that are no more in the newer payload. -- Packaging Resources - http://s.sudre.free.fr/Packaging.html _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.

Hi, I'm trying to package vendor provided package along with Serial key. Package is Adobe Light Room. I have created a project in Packagemaker and included vendor provided package inside it, No changes made to the vendor package. When i import the project in packagemaker it says whether to use the resources and contents in the package to install. I have said yes. I have been trying to embed the serial key into this package. I have created a new package with license key. Location to be installed is /Library/Application\support/Adobe/Lightroom. However when i try to include this package along with vendor package I see a "? " mark. How to I add serial key to vendor provided package ? Please suggest.

Custom summary intermittent?

Hello, Thanks, George _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored. Installer-dev mailing list (Installer-dev(a)lists.apple.com) Help/Unsubscribe/Update your Subscription: https://lists.apple.com/mailman/options/installer-dev/site_archiver%40lists… This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com We're testing a new flat package installer built with Packages 1.1 and one user has reported that the standard "success" summary is intermittently being displayed instead of the custom one I've set up. He's on 10.7.4 with Installer 5.0.1. It's not related to localization since he's not changing user accounts. Sometimes the custom message is displayed and sometimes it isn't. I don't see a pattern and the only line in install.log is "Displaying 'Install Succeeded UI'" in either case. Is this just Installer quirkiness or is there something in the design of how it works that I'm overlooking?
