I’ve got a preflight script that executes AppleScript via osascript. This works in Mac OS X v10.4, but not in 10.5.4 I don't have an answer for you, but as a System Admin I am going to caution you to not use AppleScript in an installer that you are going to put out into the public. And as you are emailing from an Adobe.com address I am going make this warning even more stern (as your company has put out a lot of really bad installers and is loathed in the SysAdmin community for it): You can not tell how your installer is going to be run by your clients, and there are a lot of places where using an AppleScript in an installer will have inappropriate side-effects. Most notably is that System Admins was to be able to push .pkg's through tools such as Apple Remote Desktop which means that the installer can be run in the background, with root permissions, behind the login-window. If in this case you call anything to Finder it will try and launch in the context of root, at the login-window. Meaning that anyone who wanders by now has a Finder window with root permissions ready to wreck havoc on the system. So, there is probably a far better way of achieving the end goal that you are trying for... or you need to really examine your end-goal. If you want, this list can help you with either of these two goals. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
