My uninstaller application removes all installed apps, but leaves the original receipt file around. When the user tries to install the same package again, he see Upgrade 0 bytes, but I would like for him to see Upgrade X(Total) bytes. Should I just delete the receipt file as a part of the uninstall, or what is the proper way to do this? I am not currently using version.plist files.

It was the latter case (package was installed previously) that resulted in 0 bytes. How exactly is the "upgrade" size computed? Removing the receipt files seems to be a good idea in the current OS releases. Check the uninstall perl script for Xcode to see if Apple is doing it on its side.
