Building a package for Acrobat 8 Pro. I have the Acrobat 8 install .pkg built, and it seems to work well. My next task was to un-install previous versions of Acrobat reader and Acrobat pro. Using InstallEase, I created an un-install .pkg for each version I need to remove. Tested each, all appears well. I then built a metapackage using Iceberg, with the packages in the following order: I'm pushing the package out via ARD, but noticed somthing when testing it... the packages are not always deployed in that order. In at least a couple of cases, I've seen it run one or two "remove" packages, install Acrobat 8 Pro, and then remove a couple of others. I'm just worried about a "remove" package accidentally deleting some resource that may be used by 8 Pro. For now, I'm avoiding the situation by separating out the "remove" pacakges, running them first, and then only running the Install package by itself after confirming the earlier package, but is there a good, reliable way to set the order and create dependencies that the prior package completed successfully? I'm a relative newbie to packaging, but am definitely trying to make sure I learn the "right way" before I get into too many bad habits. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ W.
