Since many paths inside your package can relocated, there is no simple way to pass this list to these scripts. We are aware of this restriction and hope to provide a better solution in the future. My simple question is: is there a way from a postflight script to know where the installer has located the existing software it will update? My package uses a LaunchServicesLookup rule to locate our existing game application. That works great. But I'd like to know this location from within a script. I've not found any script variable that gives me this info. $2 is supposedly the path to the installation destination, but that always returns "/". None of the other variables (such as INSTALLER_TEMP, PACKAGE_PATH, RECEIPT_PATH, and TMPDIR) get me close either. What I'm trying to do: I need to delete and/or move files associated with the game I am updating. Our installation consists of an enclosing folder that contains the game app & several data files. Some of these data files need to be deleted and/or moved. The game was originally installed via drag-install. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
