site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: installer-dev@lists.apple.com #!/bin/sh in order to explain to the user why they can't install. Chris Hi Christopher... Thanks for writing! We need to run on 10.2 and up (including 10.4). How might I do this? ----- Marc R.

I would make the Package in Package Maker without the rules you tried to specify. Then add a shell script named VolumeCheck script to the package (or if you have multiple packages add it to the top level meta package). The script should look something like (again, I am no shell script master): if [ -x "$1/Applications/adobe acrobat5/distiller"]; then exit 0 else if [ -x "$1/Applications (Mac OS 9)/adobe acrobat5/distiller"]; then exit 0 else if [ -x "$1/Library/Application Support/adobe PDF/Settings"]; then exit 0 else if [ -x "$1/Users/Shared/adobe PDF"]; then exit 0 fi # (1<<5) dissalows installation 16 is the index for a string in the VolumeCheck.strings localized string file to use for the reason why. exit ((1 << 5) || 16); Note that it returns 16 as the string to display as an error. In Contents/Resources/English.lproj/VolumeCheck.strings you should have a file with: "16" = "Reason for not allowing install" Which version of Package Maker are you using? What system must this package run on? If it needs to only work on Tiger (10.4) you could write this logic by hand in JavaScript very easily. If you need it to work previous to 10.3 then your best bet is writing a simple shell script for your VolumeCheck script. Please forgive this if this is an elementary question :-). I am trying to do the following - Create an installation package that checks that the following conditions are present: a. /applications/adobe acrobat5/distiller OR b. /applications (Mac OS 9)/adobe acrobat5/distiller OR c. /library/application support/adobe PDF/Settings OR d. /users/shared/adobe PDF The problem here is that when I specify the installation requirements for the package, it appears that the when pulling up the "Edit Package Requirement..." dialog, there is no "or" settings. When I set up multiple conditions, they ALL must be met or the installation fails (i.e., each condition appears to be separated by AND instead of OR). Is there a way around this? We are trying to check for any instance of Adobe Acrobat on a system, and obviously, no one is going to have every version of Acrobat on his/her system since version 5! _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
