I have an installer that I created on OS 10.6 which is a flat distribution package. It contains multiple component packages and one of them has the "Allow custom location" option set. The user can thus choose to install that particular package to any folder on any volume. Everything else goes to the System volume by default. When I run this installer on 10.5, I choose to install the customized package to ~/Desktop/MyApp. The installation goes through fine. Next I re-invoke the pkg to run the installer in upgrade mode. Again, I choose to install the customized package to ~/Desktop/MyApp. The upgrade fails to install. I can see errors like: installdb[212]: Failed to open database on '/Users/user1/'. Error 14, 13, Permission denied. payloadExtractor[215]: Error creating receipt. payloadExtractor[215]: pkgExtractor exited with error 1 while processing package '/Volumes/OS X/code_test/deployment/pmdocs/Customizable/01.pkg' Installer[200]: Install failed: The Installer could not install some files in “/Users/user1/Desktop/MyApp”. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance. 1. Installing outside the user area has no problem. 2. It looks like permissions/ownership of something in ~/Library/Receipts folder are interfering since deleting this folder causes the upgrade to run fine. Any clue what would fix this? Thanks!
