site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: installer-dev@lists.apple.com But since my middle name is Stupid, I'm running Mac OS X in English. I then build and run the package. Sure enough Installer.app opens the package but: - the License step does not exist. -> This did not work like this with previous OS versions. Again, I build and run the package. - the alert sheet is displayed in English. -> This does not work like this with previous OS versions. But there's probably a logic behind all this. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.

There are some changes in Installer.app in Leopard that look very strange (if not buggy). Let's imagine I'm French. Let's imagine that I want to create an install package that includes a French EULA and a French ReadMe. (1) So I open PackageMaker 3, create a new package, use the Interface Editor to add a License and a Read Me. - the Introduction step displays the default Welcome Message (which had been modified in Leopard) in English -> It does not work like this on 10.2.8 and 10.4.10. If French is the only available localization for the Welcome message, it's used for other languages too. So basically, it looks like that for a license to be displayed, it is required to be available in the language the user is running the OS. -> While this could be somehow fine in relation with French laws since I seem to remember reading something stating that no licenses are valid unless they are available in French, it does not explain why the French license is not displayed since it's available. Because the way it works, you can install a software without either being notified that there's an EULA. (2) OK, now since I'm just 98% stupid, I then add an English (AKA Ethernet) localization for the License. The License Step is now displayed in English. But in case you forgot, in this story I'm French and stupid, so I choose Français in the Popup Button of the License pane. I then click Continue (in 10.2.8, Continue would have been changed to Continuer, but that's changed sometimes ago, well...) and: -> I suspect that since the dialog is not displayed in the language of the EULA, agreeing to the License will not be considered valid by the law but IANAL. In all previous OS versions, at least this dialog was displayed in the language of the EULA. In my humble (and stupid) opinion, all these changes are regressions in Installer.app. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
