Note that the source scripts just need to have the read permission. The permissions of the post-installation and pre-installation scripts within the package are automatically set during the build phase of the package. > What is frustrating is that I have an older Package installation file that executes its script. What can I be overlooking? When the scripts are run during installation, there are corresponding log entries in install.log (or in the Log Window of the Installer.app application (Window > Installer Log). In the case of your script, here is what I get on a 10.10.3 system: Jun 14 20:01:27 MacPro.local installd[459]: PackageKit: Executing script "./preinstall" in /private/tmp/PKInstallSandbox.4Ed5nc/Scripts/com.mygreatcompany.pkg.TestScript.ijFITN Jun 14 20:01:27 MacPro.local installd[459]: ./preinstall: /tmp/PKInstallSandbox.4Ed5nc/Scripts/com.mygreatcompany.pkg.TestScript.ijFITN/preinstall: line 3: osa: command not found What you're looking for is probably: --------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<-------- #!/bin/sh /usr/bin/osascript -e "beep 1" exit 0 --------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<-------- _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.

Have you expanded the resulting package to see if the script is actually present in the Scripts folder?) What about looking at the expanded PackageInfo file to see if it has a Scripts section, e.g The RSA Island Centre, 14-16 Island Centre Way, Enfield, Middlesex, EN3 6GS Registered in England and Wales No: 3185327 Registered address as stated
