I'm building an installation package and I've attempted using a Hints.plist file in the package's Resources folder to prevent the installer from deleting a file in one of the directories that gets used for part of the installation. Hints.plist looks like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http:// www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <array> <array> <string>/Library/Application Support/This Particular Application/my- sqlite.db</string> <string>dontobsolete</string> </array> </array> </plist> In other words, I don't want the installer to trash the file my- sqlite.db in the /Library/Application Support/This Particular Application directory. This scheme *almost* works. Indeed, the file does not get deleted, as desired. But the installer generates an error, saying that some of the files may not have been installed. I can verify that all of the files were installed, so the "may" part of the error is technically true. But there are two bigger problems: Is there something I need to do to the pmproj file to prevent this error from being thrown? I'm not telling the pmproj about Hints.plist; I drop it into the .pkg manually after the fact because I don't really understand how to specify the stuff in the Hints file from within Package Maker.
