Hello all, After solving my previous question almost by accident I've moved on to testing our other installers on 10.5.8 and -sadly enough- some of the other packages fail to install too... Again these work fine on 10.7 and 10.8, but not on 10.5.8. In 10.5.8 no password is asked at installation time and I'm guessing this has something to do with this error. This time no dashes or spaces are used anywhere :-) Here are the command line arguments I'm using and the distribution xml. Our installer works in two parts: the first contains the App and the second contains all the data which needs to be shared among all users: # left out: lot's of copying from various locations to $RootPath pkgbuild --identifier com.samplesumo.musicfollower --root $RootPath --install-location /Applications/MusicFollower/ ../_Output/MusicFollowerApp.pkg # left out: clearing out the $RootPath and again lot's of copying from various other locations to $RootPath pkgbuild --identifier com.samplesumo.musicfollowerdata --scripts $ScriptsPath --root $RootPath --install-location / ../_Output/MusicFollowerData.pkg # left out: some copying to the resources path productbuild --sign "Developer ID Installer: SampleSumo" --distribution "distribution.xml" --resources $ResourcesPath --package-path ../_Output/ ../_Output/MusicFollower.pkg The distribution xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?> <installer-gui-script minSpecVersion="1"> <readme file="Readme.rtf" mime-type="text/plain" /> <license file="Copyright.rtf" mime-type="text/plain" /> <background file="logo.png" scaling="none" alignment="bottomleft" /> <pkg-ref id="com.samplesumo.musicfollower"/> <pkg-ref id="com.samplesumo.musicfollowerdata"/> <options customize="never" require-scripts="false"/> <choices-outline> <line choice="default"> <line choice="com.samplesumo.musicfollower"/> <line choice="com.samplesumo.musicfollowerdata"/> </line> </choices-outline> <choice id="default"/> <choice id="com.samplesumo.musicfollower" visible="false"> <pkg-ref id="com.samplesumo.musicfollower"/> </choice> <pkg-ref id="com.samplesumo.musicfollower" version="0" onConclusion="none">MusicFollowerApp.pkg</pkg-ref> <choice id="com.samplesumo.musicfollowerdata" visible="false"> <pkg-ref id="com.samplesumo.musicfollowerdata"/> </choice> <pkg-ref id="com.samplesumo.musicfollowerdata" version="0" onConclusion="none">MusicFollowerData.pkg</pkg-ref> </installer-gui-script> Which has nothing special in it, as far as I know - it's basically created with a synthesise from the 2 packages + the readme/license stuff.
