So let's try that: 1. Create a package targetting 10.4. 2. Let's install a file in /Users/Shared 3. Uncheck the require admin password 4. Add the post install action to open the URL: http://www.apple.com 5. Build and run. Problem Observed: ----------------- The installation requires an admin password. Second problem observed in this case: ------------------------------------- (Bug ID# 6286876) _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored. Installer-dev mailing list (Installer-dev@lists.apple.com) Help/Unsubscribe/Update your Subscription: http://lists.apple.com/mailman/options/installer-dev/site_archiver%40lists.a... In PackageMaker 3, you can define post install action. This results in an additional package being created because the distribution script format does not support postflight/postinstall script for the distribution script itself. Why does it require an admin password? Because PackageMaker thinks that to open a URL, you have to be root! If you try to install the package a second time. Installation fails and tells you to contact your software provider. I uunderstood it meant filing a bug against Installer.app and PackageMaker.app, so I just did that.
