That being said, I don't see how only a JavaScript script would be able to fix the permissions : - there is no API for that.

Here it is: system.run('/bin/chmod', 'a+x', <path_to_main_package_resources_folder_script>); This works great; the only problem here I need to know ".../<MyPackage.pkg>/Contents/Resources" current path that is known by system.run() internally but cannot be retrieved.

- would you be using an external script you provide to do that, this external script may be suffering from the same issue.

Exactly right!

Provide the script as a zip archive. Unzip it from the JavaScript script by calling a system tool. This should preserve the permissions.

Great idea (would be), however (!!!) how to get path to a zip? Same primary problem...

Hi Bill,

I need to fix "execute" permission for my requirement scripts before Installer runs them. For some specific reason I cannot use flat package type or .dmg shield for my installation package and scripts may lose "execute" permission during deployment steps. This makes inst package broken and I've not found any documented ways to check/repair permissions.

I would tent to believe there's none because when a package is broken, it's broken.

In the history of stupid ideas, I have one that is claiming for the top spot: Provide the script as a zip archive. Unzip it from the JavaScript script by calling a system tool.
