Re: Packages: order of payloads installation?
Stephane, Now i I do hope i understand it completely. I only need to assign the valid order of packages in "Presentation/Installation Type" by drag-and-droping them. Thank you again for your great product, before I discovered it, it was a nightmare to support installer with PackageMaker from Apple! -- Sincerely, Rustam Muginov On Mar 6, 2013, at 12:58 PM, Stephane Sudre wrote:

Stephane, thank you.
I had found the "Group" and "Merge" in the "Presentation/Installation Type". What is the difference between Group and Merge,
In the hierarchy of choices of a distribution, you can have choices and groups of choices.
There's usually a 1 to 1 relationship between choices and packages. But it's also possible to define that a choice will install multiple packages (but still only one choice will be displayed for all those packages).
"Merge" creates a choice that contains multiple packages. 2 choices for instance become one.
"Group" creates a group of choices that contains the selected choices. 2 choices are grouped in a parent choice.
and what is more suitable for my task (Standard Install only, no user choice, I only need to set the order of packages installed)?
You just need to have a 1 level hierarchy and set the order of the packages (choices) in the order you want. No need to group or merge.
