Re: Upgrade process fails on Tiger
site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: installer-dev@lists.apple.com Chris Hi, all. I searched some clue in the archive, and found this post. http://lists.apple.com/archives/installer-dev/2005/Jun/msg00000.html In my case, however, setting the unique ID doesn't solve the problem. Is there any way to make my new installer work correctly on upgrade with the old one? Regards, K.Mino _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.

What is your package layout? Are you using a meta package? Can you send me the Info.plists from the two packages and the names of these packages? There is a bug in 10.4 where the reason for not being able to install doesn't percolate up to the top and display in the Target Select panel. Either way, the installer has decided your package can't be installed and will not let you further. My installer fails to upgrade modules on Tiger (10.4.3). (No problem on Panther.) In the last step of upgrade process, the 'Install' button (not 'Upgrade') appears on the Installer's window, and clicking it raises the error message which tells that there is nothing to install. Both of my old & new installers have the same CFBundleName, and each has BundleVersions.plist described correctly. The difference between them is that only the new has CFBundleIdentifier in its Info.plist (because Tiger's PackageMaker requires that). This issue seems to come from the fact only the new installer has the ID. Upgrade works fine when removing it from the new one or adding it to the receipt of the old.
