I needed to eliminate the path to the volume from the file name that needs to be present. I'm trying to build an installation package (using PackageMaker.app) that can only install to an external drive. This is for a product that runs from an external HDD and I want the installer to be idiot-proof. This means that I don't want the user to get confused and install to the root volume (or any other internal drive, as well). The installer is actually a software update to an existing product, so there are some "sentinel" files that I know will be on the external drive. I've tried using "Edit Package Requirements" under the "Configuration" tab and selecting the "File Exists sentinelFile == true" option, but this doesn't seem to work -- the root volume still gets allowed and the external drive doesn't. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
