Hi,

I'm having a strange problem with PackageMaker. My installer makes sure an app (Mail in this case) is not running, and if it does, quits it. I used the Actions tab of PackageMaker to build this action. It is a "Get App" attached to a "Quit App".

Now here is where it gets strange... If build the installer with PackageMaker.app, it works great. If Mail is running it quits it and proceeds with with installation. HOWEVER if I build the installer with the command line tool /Developer/usr/bin/packagemaker, it installs but it WON'T quit Mail if it's running. It just leaves it running and does the install anyway.

Why the difference in behavior? I use this to build on the cmd line: "/Developer/usr/bin/packagemaker -d installer/myinstaller.pmdoc -o build/MyInstaller.pkg"

Have you checked if there's any difference between the package you get when you use the UI and the one you get when you use the command line?

I extracted the contents of both packages using Pacifist. The one built using the UI has a preflight.pkg inside of it, while the command line one doesn't. So they are very clearly different.
