It is important that we get the current the path of the installer because we need to copy the supporting files from the iso to the target system. So if there is no way get the current path of the installer in flat packages, there is no point in switching to flat packages. How to open an incident with Apple? regards Prema -----Original Message----- From: installer-dev-bounces+prema.kumar=efi.com@lists.apple.com [mailto:installer-dev-bounces+prema.kumar=efi.com@lists.apple.com] On Behalf Of Stephane Sudre Sent: Wednesday, September 28, 2011 11:11 PM To: installer-dev@lists.apple.com Subject: Re: Problem installing when multiple iso's with are mounted You can create Flat packages with PackageMaker, you need to change your OS target from 10.4 to 10.5. Instead of getting a bundle for the .pkg, you will get a file (which is actually a xar archive that includes the payload, bom, metadata, the scripts and extra resources). Something to take into account. With Flat packages, you don't have pre/postflight, pre/postupgrade,pre/postinstall scripts. You just have preinstall and postinstall scripts which are the equivalents of the preflight and postflight scripts. Also, if you need to find the location of some secondary scripts, extra resources in your package from a preinstall or postinstall script, you should not be surprised that the location is a temporary one. You will not get a "visible" receipt for your packages upon installation. pkgutil has to be used. That being said, the issue you describe might be worth using a technical incident with Apple before switching to flat packages if no solution is suggested from the members of this list or other lists you posted on. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
