Is this an intended behaviour? Bundles are more accurately identified via (gasp!) bundle identifiers, not names, which are easily changed/mangled by the user. I've honestly never tried installing two copies of the same application in the same folder before, but I can't think of a good reason why I'd need to, either, so I think it's understandable if the Installer is getting confused by what you're asking it to do. But if you e.g. install two different versions (myDemo App 1.0 and myDemo App 2.0) of the same app (still having the same bundle identifier) then you do NOT want this behavior. Take iWorks e.g. you have version 06 and version 08 and both of the Keynote apps have the same bundle identifier. So this "smart" behaviour of the installer is not good, at least not as the default mode. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
