If a preflight exits with -1 for instance, the installation will stop. But the error messages are not user friendly: "There were errors installing the software" "Please try installing again." This might be what unsupported is referring to. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored. Installer-dev mailing list (Installer-dev@lists.apple.com) Help/Unsubscribe/Update your Subscription: http://lists.apple.com/mailman/options/installer-dev/site_archiver%40lists.a... Can you elaborate on this? There are times when installation checks are too complicated to be a part of volumecheck(). What is one to do in such a case? For example, the case I heard of recently was one where the team had a complicated logic to detect whether an app was in use or not. This logic was placed in a binary and the binary was invoked as a preinstall step of the first component package. How can they address this case since invoking custom binaries is not possible in the volumecheck() phase? Btw, to augment my knowledge: is failing in postinstall supported?
