My issue is that 10.4 and 10.5 keep system Python files in a different location. Thoughts? Thanks, -Jason _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.

The second alternative is the way to go if we ever want to have uninstall capabilities in the future. A generic uninstaller could use receipt info to figure out what to remove. A generic uninstaller could not "rewind" a post-install or post-upgrade script. Alas, I think we may never see robust uninstall on OS X, because it would require changes from Apple _and_ from all package developers. You can install the files in a temporary location and then move them to the OS specific location using postinstall or postupgrade scripts. Of course in this case the BOM will not contain the location where the files really end up, but if that's not a problem then the above mentioned method should work. Another alternative is to create 2 pkgs and then wrap them into a meta package and have the OS based version check in the InstallationCheck script that will block the installation of one pkg or the other depending on the OS the mpkg is installed on. Is it possible to create an installer that can put files in a different location depending upon platform version? I have tried and I am not seeing what I can do.
