I at least appreciate the time they take to answer questions on this list. Such comments are not constructive nor appropriate. If it breaks in the future I will re-write it as I usually end up re-writing things anyway to work around Apple's lack of features and lack of documentation. Or maybe if the Installer/Packagemaker docs actually *mentioned* when Installer closes the package, that would be helpful in making this decision also. But that's too much to expect from a 'world- class' company such as Apple. The PackageMaker docs are abysmal BTW. I would fire whomever wrote them. Maybe if Apple included a simple feature such as this in PackageMaker, we wouldn't even be wasting our time on this discussion. How hard would it be for Installer.app and PackageMaker's engineers to include a single checkbox in PackageMaker named "Delete package after intsall"? Since the Installer is the one who does the package manipulation, only it knows when it is safe to move/delete a package.

It probably ignores any errors if the bundle from a pkg can't be closed or it may in fact have already closed the pkg when the Restart pane is displayed. Don't guess. You've got two of Apple's installer engineers telling you not to rely on that behavior. You won't get much sympathy if you do it anyway and it breaks in the future. -pmb _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
