(b) the path provided is not checked first. Question: --------- Is it 'a', 'b' or 'c'? _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.

If we look at the XML elements generated by PackageMaker, we can see that for a bundle, the search element looks something like this: <search id="someID" type="component"> <bundle CFBundleIdentifier="com.apple.dashboardlauncher" path="/Applications/Dashboard.app"/> </search> If we look at the XML element written for the Mac OS X 10.6.2 updater, the search element looks like this: <search id="com.apple.dashboardlauncher" type="script" script="search ()"> <script> function search() { var results = my.search.results['com.apple.dashboardlauncher.bundle']; if (typeof(results) == 'object') { if (results.length == 0) { return "/var/run/DoNotInstall"; } for (var i = 0; i < results.length; i++) { var result = results[i]; if (result == "/Applications/Dashboard.app") { return result; } } } return results; } </script> </search> (c) contrary to popular belief, the returned 'results' array is post- processed by some algorithm (version sorting for instance) and Installer.app won't just use the first item of the array.
