AFAIK, it depends on the kind of the file system object. If a folder or a folder from the payload already exist on disk and the overwrite permissions flag is not set, then the permissions are not changed. If a folder or a folder from the payload already exist on disk and the overwrite permissions flag is set, then the permissions of the folder are changed, the permissions of the file are not changed. In most cases, you don't want to overwrite permissions. On Fri, Jun 22, 2012 at 12:33 PM, Karthikeyan M <karthikeyan.mac@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi,

We have Microsoft Office 2011 14.1.4 installed on a system. We are now pushing the snapshot 14.2.0 package. All the application permission in new package is set to root:wheel.

Installing the new package on existing version of office upgrades to 14.2.0 but the permission remains as root:admin even though the package app files are set to root:wheel.

Does the installer replaces the .app with permission or just appends the data inside .app?

Regards, Karthikeyan
