Hello, I'm currently developing a setup targeting flat packages. The setup installs a browser plug-in to the user home folder (via current user domain), but needs to change a global registration. The registration is done by an executable included as an additional resource in the setup and supposed to be launched by the postinstallation script. I did a project with one package where I enabled "Require admin password for installation". I get a credential prompt, and the plug-in is correctly installed to the current user folder. However, postinstallation is not executed as root, no matter which credentials I provide, hence the executable fails. If I try to launch the executable explicitly using sudo, I get "sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified" (in the log). It doesn't matter, if I use PackageMaker or sudre's Packages.

From the Packages user manual (Section "Defining a package pre- and post-installation scripts"): " >> If the installation process requests an admin password, the pre- and post-installation scripts will be run as root." -> Obviously this is wrong, or do I miss something?

Thanks for any input, Harry _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
