You can't prevent this whatever software you use to build the package. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.

Would it not be better to figure out why the Installer thinks a newer version is already installed? Perhaps the version in the older package is the sam or higher than in the package to be installed? I m facing a critical issue when any older version of my software is already installed and I try to install the newer one. It shows me the alert dialog on selecting the root volume- that 'the volume already contains the new software and this will replace the newer one with older one. do you like to continue?' This seems so irritating to the end user. so I would like to remove the 'destination select' dialog completely from my installer. Can anyone guide me how this can be possible? This is due to the fact that Installer.app (actually, probably the Installation framework since you can install packages with installer) keeps track of what was installed on your Mac. You would need to help it forget something has been installed. It is usually best to do this in the postflight script.

From Mac OS X 10.0 to 10.5, you can just get rid of the receipt in / Library/Receipts/ (or its home folder counter part). For Mac OS X 10.6, you would need to use the pkgutil tool and the -- forget option. This email sent to greg.neagle@disneyanimation.com
