site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: installer-dev@lists.apple.com Well, I gave up on PackageMaker. I found instead something called Iceberg. I'm going through the documentation, following the steps to create a metapackage at http://s.sudre.free.fr/Software/documentation/Iceberg/English.lproj/document... 1 Choose View > Components 2 Choose Project > New Component… 3 Type Font Book in the Component name text field 3 Choose Required from the Attribute pop-up menu and click Add 4 Select the new package in the Packages & Metapackages list 5 Choose View > Files There is no View > Files at this step. There is a View > Components, but that doesn't do what's needed. What to do now? On Mar 29, 2011, at 3:48 PM, Iceberg-Dev wrote:
The Apple package format (either flat or bundle) allows you to do that. (PackageMaker is just a tool to build the package, not install it).
I don't have access to PackageMaker 3 but I was able to find some instructions here:

End of page 9 should help you.
Good luck.

No, this approach doesn't work. There's no telling when the script gets invoked. Surely PackageMaker can do something as simple as run a pre- and post- flight script??

Interesting! If I do this, it prompts me with the path of the script. Does PM automatically include this script in the package, or does it assume it preexists on the machine you're installing on?

Requirements tab -> add -> If/Result of Script -> file path to your script?

Sounds fine, but how do I tell PackageMaker to do that?

Hey Mr. Sims,
What if you run a script that has your commands in it as part of that preinstall?
