I need to install fat binaries because our products are developer tools for Flash. For example we have a screen saver creation tool (used in fact by Apple among others) It need to create FAT screen savers regardless of the OS it is run on, as they may be installed on Intel or PPC machines. So it is OK for the main app to be stripped, but there are other Fat binaries in the package that need to remain fat - I even tried renaming one and it still got stripped. I'm very happy to have a solution, but I think this really is a bug in the 10.3.9 installer app. No. I can understand how that'd be convenient for you, but I'm still curious why you need to install fat binaries on 10.3?

In the Package's Info.plist file, you can set the flag IFPkgFlagInstallFat to true. I can't take credit for discovering this "feature". A colleague did. <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/DeveloperTools/ Conceptual/SoftwareDistribution4/Concepts/ sd_pkg_flags.html>http://developer.apple.com/documentation/ DeveloperTools/Conceptual/SoftwareDistribution4/Concepts/ sd_pkg_flags.html Also note, IFPkgFlagInstallFat is ignored on 10.4: <http://lists.apple.com/archives/installer-dev/2006/Jan/ msg00003.html>http://lists.apple.c om/archives/installer-dev/2006/ Jan/msg00003.html This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
