Re: Lion permissions problem in /Library/Application Support
site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: installer-dev@lists.apple.com Simply adding our company's folder (with correct permissions) to the Files for my plug-in's Component seems to have resolved the problem nicely. Thanks all! -Howard On Dec 14, 2011, at 5:33 PM, Bill Coderre wrote:
As an Apple employee, I endorse this "never use a postflight where you do not have to" approach.
There are cases where you do have to, but I believe this is not one of them.

But: You should never do anything in a postflight script that could be accomplished by simply delivering a payload.
Why?
Payloads can be installed to volumes other than the current startup volume. Postflight scripts often get this wrong. Payloads leave a record in the receipts database, making auditing easier and removal possible; postflight scripts unnecessarily complicate this sort of thing.

That sounds like a good plan, Greg. You wouldn't happen to know how I would do that in Iceberg, would you?
Thanks, Howard

Since this is the installer-dev list, why doesn't your plugin's Installer package create /Library/Application Support/Antares and set it to wordl-writable if that's what you want/need?

If you mean something like "Volumes/MyHardDrive/Library/Application Support", then that's the same folder I'm talking about when I refer to "/Library/Application Support". And under Lion, it's permissions do not allow the group (or everyone) to write, which prevents my plug-in from creating the Antares folder there.
