That worked perfectly. thx. There is another problem on 10.5.8 now though ( all is still fine on 10.6 and up ). I'm getting an error about not being able to find the required files. Here is the relevant parts from the installer log.

The reason the installation is failing when you use "allowed-os-versions" on Leopard is because that key is only supported in OS X 10.6.6 and later. The workaround for this is to use a JavaScript function to check for the OS version in the volume check phase of the installation, something like the following:

if( system.compareVersions(my.target.systemVersion.ProductVersion, '10.6.6') == -1 ) { my.result.type = 'Fatal'; my.result.message = 'This software requires Mac OS X 10.5 or above'; return(false); }

Hope this helps, Ed

I changed the min version by hand just for testing purposes. It was at 2.
