Flat mpkg is treated as a file only and not a folder on Windows/unix systems. ~S -----Original Message----- From: helpcrypto helpcrypto [mailto:helpcrypto@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, June 15, 2012 3:48 PM To: Swaroop Bhola Cc: installer-dev@lists.apple.com Subject: Re: Installer delivery format iirc (correct me if im wrong), mpkg are seen as a folder on windows/unix systems, so ill recommend .dmg to prevent things like "thumbs.db" creation inside your installer :P On Fri, Jun 15, 2012 at 10:34 AM, Swaroop Bhola <sbhola@quark.com> wrote:

Hi,

We are in the process of creating a flat installer. We had a bundle based installer earlier so while shipping it we used to make a dmg to ensure that it doesn’t get corrupt while downloading. Do we need to deliver the flat package as a dmg or can we directly ship/upload flat mpkg installer? What are the pros and cons for both?

Thanks,

Swaroop
