Folks here that use PackageMaker with custom InstallationCheck.strings and VolumeCheck.string will want to know of it... If anyone has any workarounds or further knowledge of this, that'd be great. Here's a paste of it: Problem ID: 4133872 Title: Package .string messages fail to show under Tiger Summary: Packages that properly display the messages contained in VolumeCheck.strings and InstallationCheck.strings under 10.3, do not display properly under 10.4 (instead, the default "Could not find specified message for index X" is displayed). Steps to Repro: Run any package that uses VolumeCheck.strings and InstallationCheck.strings, built via PackageMaker 1.x or 2.x, built under 10.3 or 10.4, and you'll always get the "could not find specified message for index X" message. I stress: a package under 10.3 will show string messages properly while the *same* package will not find the string under 10.4. I've tried every permutation of semi-colons, spaces, and new lines in those string files that I can think of, without any luck. Even if there was a format problem I didn't think of, you probably agree that Apple should propagate any package installer behavior of this nature from 10.3 to 10.4 (recall that I mentioned that the same package works on 10.3 but doesn't under 10.4). Expected Results: Same as under 10.3: the strings in *.strings properly display. Actual Results: Both the strings from VolumeCheck.strings and InstallationCheck.strings are never found. Regression: The fact the same package works under 10.3 and doesn't under 10.4 indicates there's a bug in the 10.4 package installer. Andy On 6/1/05 1:55 PM, "Dan Grassi" <dgrassi@lexar.com> wrote:

I noticed that packagemaker run from the command line now produces a package with the scripts, such as InstallationCheck, not having their permissions set to execute. This causes the installation to fail.

Is this a bug or am I missing something?

Are the permissions set for the InstallationCheck file in your Resources folder?

Yes. There has been some change between Panther and Tiger.
