User-agent: Microsoft-Entourage/12.10.0.080409 I have everything working nicely -- except that my installer won't replace an older version of my product if it finds one installed. I assume I have to configure the Patch button in each component's Configuration pane. But I can't find any instructions about how to do that. The Save button is only enabled when the text field is empty. It remains disabled no matter what I type into the field, even the path to the product ("/Applications/Event Taps Testbench.app"). The instructional text in the Configuration pane, "No patch root selected," means absolutely nothing to me -- what is a patch root? I can't browse for an older version of my product because I don't have one just lying around. I chose FireFox just to see what would happen, and "/Applications/FireFox.app" appeared in the text box and the Save button became enabled. But the moment I try to edit it, the text field reverts to empty. And what do I do if I want the installer to replace ANY older version of my product? What if some older versions had different names? I guess, until all these UI bugs are fixed, I have to install an older version of my app on my development machine just so I can drag it onto this field. Will that do the trick? C'mon Apple. You want us to deliver product for the platform, don't you? Getting PackageMaker 3 right ought to be an extremely high priority. Why do I find more than a dozen major-major bugs that interfere with its everyday use?
