Whenever I load the project into package maker the permissions of the references to the files to be installed are re-set. And I have to manually step through and apply recommendations (since I have corrected the permission on my installation). Not only is this really tedious and error prone it also sometime just don't set the correct permissions in the install package. After installing (on a clean machine) the permissions are still messed up. 1. How can I workaround the permission issue? (Do I need to include a postflight script correcting this?) 2. How do I provide an uninstaller? 3. Where are the information stored, about which software and the corresponding versions are installed? So the OSX installer knows when to indicate "upgrade"? 4. Actually I generally tend to use OS provided technologies, for many reasons, but should I better use another install maker? packagemaker seems to be very buggy, it often crashes (most likely after a lengthy attempt to reset the permissions, but any other occasion seems to be welcome). 5. Why is packagemaker so extremely slow? Apple invented the "Instruments"? Are your developer actually using this? What are your future plans with packagemaker and which installer builder are using you internally? 6. The dependency logic for the choices seems completely broken. Only very basic logic operations do work. Any time frame for a fix? Thanks and best regards, Hagen. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
