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 have a bug where “special characters” in a user-selected folder named !"§$%&/()=? are being passed to the postflight script (written in perl). The installer log shows the text being passed correctly (except for the forward slash, which it translates to a colon), but the script has all sorts of issues parsing the string. '/' is the only (AFAIK) forbidden character for a path component. So it's really a ':'. Does PackageMaker pass the string as escaped text or does it pass it as Unicode? The installation framework being a Cocoa thing, it's quite probable C strings passed to scripts as arguments or env vars are built using UTF8String or fileSystemRepresentation. Both are usually the same, but apparently sometimes there can be a difference. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
