Therefore, I am setting IFPkgFlagAuthorizationAction to NoAuthorization. When I install the package as an ordinary user, it appears to install correctly, but the Installer fails with an error message: "There were errors installing the software". When I viewed the installer log, I see an error message about how it is trying to move an existing receipt /private/tmp/.<my app name> to /Library/Receipts/<my app name>. The permissions of /Library/Receipts are rwxrwxr-x (owned by root), and since I'm not logged in as an administrator, it makes sense that it fails. Does every installer package created with PackageMaker attempt to write to /Library/Receipts? If so, does this mean that only administrators can install packages? Or is there something wrong with the permissions on my /Library/Receipts directory? Thanks in advance, Fazan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
