Hi all.  Someone just referred me to this list.  I'm having two major problems with my simple PackageMaker project at the moment.  You may have heard them before.

1. The mpkg just isn't overwriting two of the three things it's supposed to be overwriting, and I don't get any error message.  I can't see any permission problem.  For example, I'm trying to install a component in /Library/QuickTime, and the older one never gets overwritten.  The weird thing is that another package that does work is being written to /Library/Frameworks, so it's not a blockage on everything under /Library (and I am prompting for administrative password for the installer).

After many gyrations and experiments, I discovered the (as far as I can tell undocumented) context menu on the packages, which offers an option to override the target directories' permissions.  That doesn't help.

This option would just use the permissions defined in your payload if the directory happened to exist both on disk and in your payload.

I also experimented to determine how the "apply recommendations" option works for setting permissions of package contents (which also seems to be undocumented), and that didn't help either.

If I delete the files that are supposed to be overwritten before running the installer, everything goes into the right place.

So this is not a relocation issue. 2 questions: - Which OS version? - How do you check that the new files are correctly installed? Finder Info Window? _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
