There are two common solutions: 1) If it's an application, present an error to the user. This IS the standard behavior, but is not in Installer.app at this time. I know it sounds lame, but it's really the best choice, because the user might have unsaved changes, etc, etc.

I just got the "Quit Application" preinstall action in PackageMaker 3.0.4 to work (by using the application's bundle identifier; using it's name didn't work, with or without the .app extension). What happens is that, as the installation operation reaches the end, the applications quit (or are killed). So at least PackageMaker can do this much. Are you saying that we shouldn't take advantage of this feature because it's dangerous? -- Bill Cheeseman - bill@cheeseman.name _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
