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 an mpkg. It has two sub-pkgs. Neither one is required. One of the sub-pkgs has an InstallationCheck which returns 112 (stop installation). On 10.3.9, running the mpkg displays my error and stops the installation (as I would sort of expect). On 10.4.8, running the mpkg silently (unless you happen to look in the log) disables the sub-pkg with the InstallationCheck, and displays "The software was successfully installed". If the user happens to click Customize, they will see that the sub-pkg has been turned off, and cannot be selected. I guess I understand the reasoning to some degree - the sub pkg can't be installed, and since it's not required, the mpkg continues to install. So I guess in 10.3.9, the user would have to figure out which sub pkg wasn't able to install, and customize the mpkg installation to exclude it, which is probably more work than the user should have to do... But at the very least on 10.4.8, the failure should cause the "Customize" view to be exposed so the user has some chance of knowing what's going on. (and it would also be nice if the error could be seen by selecting the sub-pkg - so the reason for it being disabled would not be mysterious). In my pkg, the InstallationCheck doesn't fail because it can't/shouldn't ever be installed on the computer, it's because of a condition that could be fixed and then the install could succeed. So it's important for the user to at least know that the sub pkg hasn't been installed, even if the mpkg install does continue. Am I missing something? Is there some other way to get the error to appear? (without making the sub pkg required)... This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
