However exit value 32 or 33 it works perfectly fine in Tiger! I return 64 for error and 0 for correctness. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.

I tried using the exit value 33 but it still gives me inconsistent results and I have no clue as to why. I have 11 language specific packages which I need to club into a metapackage. The individual packages should be installed only if there is a specific file (which points to the language) in a particular location. Changing the exit value to 33 got it working briefly in Panther for a metapackage containing two packages but very inconsistently. There were times it enabled the packages even if the VolumeCheck failed. With 11 packages I have never got it working right. Am I missing something obvious? How can a metapackage go ahead and install a package which cannot be installed standalone? Hmm, I'm observing the same phenomenon. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I've made some tests using InstallationCheck scripts instead of VolumeCheck scripts and the result is better. I tried it 10 times and every time the packages are correctly enabled and disabled. Of course this would require enabling the "Install on root volume only" option. I tried an installation and it worked fine and a later attempt show that only the right package is enabled.
