Packaging problems

Question

My PackageMaker project generated a .mpkg file, but then, all of a sudden, when I am going to build, it only generates .pkg files. The .mpkg files are actually directories in which I put my own installer kit along with the InstallerSections.plist file to indicate the display order of my user view. The .pkg files are not directories, and I cannot add my own set of installers to it.

Anyway, something is wrong, as PackageMaker no longer allows me to generate a .mpkg file. Any idea why this could be? Is there any other way that I should approach this?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Your pmdoc is a distribution project, and you set the minimum version of pmdoc to 10.5. In this case, PackageMaker always creates flat packages.

There are three solutions:

• Select "Set Properties ..." in the "Project" menu and set the minimum version of pmdoc to 10.4. This is a solution to return to .mpkg.
• Use the flat package editor (hidden inside the PackageMaker package) to add your own installer package. The contents of the .pkg file are the same as the contents of the .mpkg package.
• xar , xar, .pkg , , xar .pkg .
