Is there an issue with modifying a prototype file with a preinstall script?

Question

Solaris Packaging content
I have a prototype file in which I need to move a specific directory to somewhere else other than the BASEDIR.
I am attempting to do this with a preinstall script by running my prototype file through sed and creating a new prototype file where specific entries that match the various regexp entries in the sed command now have a alternate path assigned to it.
For example:
Original prototype file entry:
d none <directory 1>/lib 0755 root other
Output prototype from preinstall execution:
d none <directory 1>/lib=<directory 2>/lib 0755 root other
However, even though I can go into /var/sadm/pkg/<PKG NAME>/install and execute the preinstall by hand properly, I get the following:
pkgadd: ERROR: preinstall script did not complete successfully
Any ideas here? Manually editing the prototype file before pkgmk and pkgtrans is not possible with how my package is being created due to an automated process, however I would really like to leverage the functionality of the prototype file for pkgrm's instead of moving them in a postinstall script and then removing each in a postremove script.

I don't see any issue in downloading the static copy.  Even if you were allowed to connect to the wsdl directly or add it as a service reference in Visual Studio then you would have to manually update that reference.  In closing, you aren't losing
any functionality by downloading the static copy.
