Snow Leopard, uninstallation procedure; HowTo ...
site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: installer-dev@lists.apple.com Organization: MusicLab, inc. Hi ALL, Snow Leopard documentation regarding Installer has not given any idea. Does anybody have an idea how to force Installer to forget my application? I'll appreciate any idea, - Alexander _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.

To uninstall an application from Tiger, Leopard I usually remove app's folders, other specific files if any and a copy of app installation package from "/Library/Receipts" folder. It allows Installer to INSTALL same application once again (preinstall & postinstall scripts are running). So Installer chooses INSTALL, not UPGRADE procedure. On Snow Leopard I cannot force Installer to forget previous installation of an app. I've found a file "/Library/Receipts/InstallHistory.plist" and even removed dictionary that contains info regarding my app previous installation (it seems to be used on Snow Leopard instead of bunch of installation packages in Receipts folder on previous versions of MacOS X). Removal of mentioned record (dict) about my installation package from InstallHistory.plist has not led to desired result. So every time I run installation package Installer chooses UPGRADE instead of INSTALL. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
