When the preflight script is run on my system from the Terminal, it fails. kill: usage: kill [-s sigspec | -n signum | -sigspec] pid | jobspec ... or kill -l [sigspec] I tend to believe you should check that $thepid is set before trying to kill the process because there may not be a "Mail Archiver Scheduler" running process on the system (e.g. first install).

Thanks for the tips. The main problem seems to be:

12.08.12 10:05:19,446 authorizationhost: SFBuiltinEntitled: Installer.app is not entitled for system.install.apple-software (full log below)

I have:

- added "exit 0" to the scripts - used a minimum script with only "echo test" as main action - tested on another user of the main dev machine - tested on another computer (both main and second machine have been tested with Lion).

All tries to install failed with the same error.

I googled the error but found nothing conclusive. Some websites said that this issue points to a problem of the machine. But then this should work for a second computer.

Is perhaps a setting wrong? The files by themselves ARE installed so this can't be the problem. The files are also quite simple. Main app, manual and a help file. I use no readme, no license. Just the basics. The scripts are what I mainly need.

The options are set to:

Restart: no restart required Authorization: no Authorization required Flags: non selected

Any other ideas?

When running an installer, push CMD-L, then CMD-3 to show all the details.

You can save the log from that window.

After the install completes, it's appended to /var/log/install.log. Note that in Unix, logs get "rotated", which means that when the log gets too long, it gets compressed, set aside, and a new one started.

Console.app is a convenient way to browse logs, and can do filtering.

Any idea where the installer writes a log? It's under Installer.log in /Applications/Utiltiies/Console.app.
