I'm new here... and I hope that this post is appropriate... I've spent all day (2 days) on this and I don't know where to turn to. Short story... I'm trying to automate my build process by way of a shell script. I'm almost there... When I run my installer package, (it has worked), though now every time I run it (even after I rebuild it) I get the error below and the "Install Failed" message. Jan 1 23:12:31 David-Wilsons-Computer Installer[1366]: Package Authoring Error: Results of component search (com.david.USB Missile Launcher NZ) not usable by package. Jan 1 23:12:34 David-Wilsons-Computer Installer[1366]: An exception was thrown from the install queue while running IFInstallElement. NSInvalidArgumentException. *** -[NSFileManager fileSystemRepresentationWithPath:]: nil or empty path argument. Jan 1 23:12:34 David-Wilsons-Computer Installer[1366]: Install failed: The Installer encountered an unknown error that failed the install. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance. Jan 1 23:12:34 David-Wilsons-Computer Installer[1366]: Displaying 'Install Failed' UI. Jan 1 23:12:34 David-Wilsons-Computer Installer[1366]: 'Install Failed' UI displayed message:'The Installer encountered an unknown error that failed the install. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.'. I'm running 10.5.1, xcode 3 etc. I have a folder called "Applications" and a folder containing my application and support files (read me etc) that I want to install contained within that. I have a PackageMaker document (.pmdoc) and use the following to create the package. /Developer/usr/bin/packagemaker --doc "$PACKAGEMAKER" --out "$PACKAGEOUTPUT" --verbose setfile -a E "$PACKAGEOUTPUT" I've done many builds and attempted many installs yesterday/today (and thus I don't know if I've "corrupted" something on my machine) It doesn't seem to make any difference if I remove my application folder from within the Applications folder.. the installer still fails with the same error. Sorry it's a bit of a dump and I hope the story is coherent and that someone knows what's happening here... This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
