Our iCalamus installer for CD shipment has been set up in a way that it should check the customer's Mac OS X version first. But now a customer complained that it didn't work on his Tiger machine with 10.4.11. How the heck are values compared in "Requirements"? I guess they are compared as strings (where "10.4.11" is lower than "10.4.5"). Can someone confirm this as a bug - or did we something wrong? Hi Ulf, I'm sorry to say that I think that this is a bug in PackageMaker. I set up a test as you described and looked at the distribution file that it created. The check that it sets up looks like this: On the surface that might look correct but it isn't. In a situation when comparing this to 10.4.10 or higher it's going to give the incorrect answer. To be correct it would have to look something like this: if(-1 == system.compareVersions (my.target.systemVersion.ProductVersion, '10.4.5')) { Called this way it should properly compare the versions. The return code of the compareVersions function is -1 for less than 0 for equal and 1 for greater than. In your situation I would suggest you manually change the distribution after creating it through PM. And please file a bug for this. Just for the record, this incorrect way of comparing versions is also used in PackageMaker on Mac OS X 10.4. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
