I placed the comments in to hilight the use of the operator. In the actual script, these comments are not present. Interestingly, I'm hearing that the same problem happens for the "file" SpecType, but if I use a SpecType of "gestalt", things works and the appropriate script is not selected. Rich Your comments in the Info.plist are not legal xml comments. Because of this, the Installer is not reading the Info.plist correctly and it is ignoring the IFRequirements. The Installer should not let you open these packages at all, but that is another issue. I have a metapackage which has 2 packages. Each package has an IFRequirementDicts script. When I run this metapackage under OS X 10.4.1, both packages are selectable. Is there a better way to do this, other than using a Distribution Script. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
