I'm trying to use a compiled tool, rather than a script, for the InstallationCheck and VolumeCheck. Others have answered why they aren't being run and how to get them to run, but I want to comment on the question in the subject line... You _can_ use executable binaries for the various tools, but you should avoid it if you can. Your package might be opened on any release of Mac OS X past and future, from 10.0 to Mac OS 20 (someday.) A well written shell script is a lot more likely to work on systems in the past and in the future. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
