I dont quite know what I should about them. Thanks, -Jason On Jan 27, 2009, at 9:37 PM, Pradeep Kumar Udupi wrote:

Hi Jason

You can install the files in a temporary location and then move them to the OS specific location using postinstall or postupgrade scripts. Of course in this case the BOM will not contain the location where the files really end up, but if that's not a problem then the above mentioned method should work.

Another alternative is to create 2 pkgs and then wrap them into a meta package and have the OS based version check in the InstallationCheck script that will block the installation of one pkg or the other depending on the OS the mpkg is installed on.

-- Thanks Pradeep

Hi All,

I want to create a package installer that works on both Tiger and Leopard. My issue is that 10.4 and 10.5 keep system Python files in a different location.

Is it possible to create an installer that can put files in a different location depending upon platform version? I have tried and I am not seeing what I can do.

Thoughts?

Thanks,

-Jason
