Hi all, Has anyone ever seen this behaviour, if so how did you fix it? Product 1 contains Package A.pkg version 1.0.2.0 is installed on the system Package product 1.pkg Product 2 contains Package A.pkg version 1.0.1.0 Package product 2.pkg Product 1 is installed on the system. I then install Product 2 after product 1 has been installed. Note that product two has an older version of package A.pkg. My problem is that the installer when installing package A.pkg version 1.0.1.0 will remove 'obsolete' files that are actually the newer files of Package A version 1.0.2.0. (mostly language and support documents) while refusing to install the older version of the app (which has a versions.plist). The end result is you have a new app with missing support files that have been removed. The odd thing is if I remove package A completely from the metapackage, and install them stand alone, the correct thing happens: The install halts and says a newer version exists on the system. Is there some magic .plist file that controls this behaviour? Why does it only happen when the package is in the metapackage? Any thoughts?
