Installer-dev mailing list (Installer-dev@lists.apple.com) Help/Unsubscribe/Update your Subscription: http://lists.apple.com/mailman/options/installer-dev/site_archiver%40lists.a... I’ve got a preflight script that executes AppleScript via osascript. This works in Mac OS X v10.4, but not in 10.5.4 This doesn’t work — When run from Terminal.app, I get the failure message: 49:77: execution error: Installer got an error: "Hello World" doesn’t understand the display dialog message. (-1708) But if I change the script to “tell” a different application (I’ve tried Finder, Safari, Audio MIDI Setup) -- they all respond appropriately and show the dialog. Why doesn’t the Installer do it in 10.5? This worked in 10.4 (and I believe even in earlier versions of 10.5.4 — could this have broken in the 10.5.3 or 10.5.4 update)? If it's the case, then the issue should also happen on a 10.4.11 OS fully patched. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
