site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: Installer-dev@lists.apple.com I've tried to get package maker to run a script. If I run my preinstall script from the terminal, it works. Why??? It's like the installer is ignoring the script. I'm running OSX 10.4, PackageMaker 2.0. -- http://elfdata.com/plugin/ _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.

I set the resources folder to be a folder I've named "Resources". In that folder is a single script named "preinstall". It has it's executable bit set. The preinstall script simply creates a file at the root directory, so that I can verify that it really did execute. It's a dummy testing script. Inside my built package, I see a folder named "Resources". Within this folder is a script named "preinstall". It's directly within "Resources", not within any sub-dir. When I run my package, guess what happens. Well, everything is installed but the script is not run! If I go to the terminal and try running the preinstall script, it runs just fine. Unless I can run scripts from PackageMaker, my installer won't be any good, so I'd have to find some other way to install this app, because I need to run scripts.
