Hi,
I'm building a Packagemaker based installer. It works fine in all cases except when launched from a SMB share.
When i place this installer in a SMB shared volume and connect to this share from a Mac, the installer when launched, launches to put up this dialog:
"The Package cannot be installed from network volume. Copy the package to a local volume and try again".
So is it that the packagemaker was never designed to work from a SMB network share? Or am i missing out on something?
It's not working from any network volumes. There used to be good reasons for this with the old package format and because of problems with Appleshare. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
