Yes. Don't use the same package identifier for your update package. Otherwise you'll see the behavior you describe as the Installer assumes your new package is claiming you don't need those files any longer. If your main installer has an identifier of com.foo.bar, your update pkg could have an identifier of com.foo.bar_update. > > Thanks in advance for your help. > _______________________________________________ > Do not post admin requests to the list.

The plugins read info from the above location. Later on I will update the sofware plugins with a different installer as well as some other stuff in Library/Application Support/My Company/*Different Folder*/Subfolders. This second update installer doesn't have content to be installed so it's not as big as the first Content one. However when I prepare it, whether I have the "Content" folder and subfolders empty or not have it at al in the Packages project, running it deletes the contents of that folder or deletes the entire folder respectively. Is there a way around this or am I missing something obvious? Thanks in advance for your help. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.

Apple clearly defined a replica of the root hierarchy inside each user’s home - just for that. We intentionally install per user. A second user should not be able to see or use the app (unless he installed it for himself). Network homes - are just homes - and all Apple File APIs respect these when resolving the home folder. This distribution package will be downloaded and opened following user’s click on a specific link - (so to enter a virtual conference - this is a widely used conferencing tool). It will NEVER be mass deployed by any IT, and such scenario is uninteresting. The package is only available from our servers - and expected to be downloaded when first entering such a meeting. This installation scenario is perfectly viable, and closely matches any app you download from the internet - and install without Admin privileges. You’re free to install software in your home directory - and Apple created the “Applications” folder just there for you. The existing installer (the previous version) is a standard Apple package (no scripts, daemons, or other hackery used) did this without a hitch - and I just wonder how. I could (hmmm… in theory…) learn the lost scrolls that kind-of document the structure of Apple’s installer package - but I hoped for more knowledge here. I will not resort to any non-Apple installation/deployment tool - for many reasons. Had I the time - I would get rid of the installer altogether - and would include my Internet plugin as a resource in the Application’s bundle, and would install it in place on App’s first run (if it is not there already). Then the user could just drag the app to his home/Applications, or wherever he likes, without any packaging, installing or whatever. The app is freely relocatable - and very small (about 15MB overall).
