Package produced by productbuild command cline tool not working on 10.5
Hi all, I'm trying to create a simple .pkg file that will install on 10.4 to 10.8. It should install an application bundle to /Applications and a small support file to /Library/PDF Services. I'm using the pkgbuild command line tool to create a package that contains both the application bundle and the support script, then I use productbuild to produce a archive with an altered background and license agreement. I originally had an issue where the Installer would bail out immediately on 10.4 or 10.5 but found out it was because my distribution file contained some stuff from a later installer-gui-script spec not supported on 10.5. After removing that, the install *almost* works; it never "authenticates" (asks the user for their password) so it can't move the files to the correct place. The installer.log mentions a bunch of "permission denied" errors and the install itself says "failed". It works without a problem on 10.6.8, 10.7, and 10.8. Is there some option that I need to use that is implied on the later OSes? Kind regards, Dave _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
