Hi,

I'm creating a Product Archive using productbuild with a distribution script. In the dist script, the min OS targeted is 10.5.8 but when i run the installer on 10.5.8, i get an error saying the dist script is too new and cannot be parsed. It works fine on 10.6 and up. I tried changing the minSpecVersion from 2 to 1 but that didn't change anything.

Is it possible to use productbuild and a dist script to target 10.5.8 and up? If so, what settings do i need?

Can you tell us how you invoke productbuild? i.e. with which arguments?

Can you produce the resulting distribution script (using Pacifist)?

I can. Here is how i use productbuild:

productbuild --distribution '<distfile>' --sign '<cert>' --package-path '<path to packages>' '<output path>'

Here is what my dist file looks like, i've never used pacifist. This comes from "productbuild --synthesize" and some manual editing.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?> <installer-gui-script minSpecVersion="1">        <title>X-Rite Device Manager</title>    <pkg-ref id="com.xrite.device.installer.component"/>        <domain enable_anywhere="false" enable_currentUserHome="false" enable_localSystem="false"/>    <options customize="never" require-scripts="false" hostArchitectures="x86_64,i386"/>    <volume-check>

The part below is from the most recent format and so would probably require minSpec to be set to 2. -------------

       <allowed-os-versions>            <os-version min="10.5.8"/>        </allowed-os-versions>

-------------
