Package Maker no contents

I built an installer with package maker but it says there is nothing to install. Only thing I can think of is this weird admin permission dialog pops up to change permissions when building. It says I need to be the admin to which I am. I set a root pw in Netinfo and then tried to build the installer as root but still had the same issue.
Any ideas?
... Ok, I just got it to work without the error message. Only problem it didn't install anything.

First of all, the GUI version of Package Maker is just useless. The command-line version is what you want to use.
Next, it isn't you that needs to be root, it is your software. You have to do a "chmod -R root:admin " on the files you want to install. It is a very good idea to copy those files to a temporary area, chmod on that temporary area, build the installer, then delete that temporary area. You don't want root-owned files in your CVS.

How to make "Mail Contents os this page" in safari 7?

Hi everybody,
I need for my daily work to make once or twice a day an upload of an mailing PNG picture. Bevor the upgrade to Maverick Safari 7 I used the safari version 5.1.10 which works great to make "Mail contents of this page" (File Menu > Mail Contents of this file). Now in the Safari 7 version this option is not anymore available and it is change to SHARE "Email this page". This is not the some and it does not match the legal proposing.
I appreciate as answer for a good solution or which steps shoud I do to get this option again.
Thx a lot

Hi Carolyn,
Thanks a lot for your help and sorry for the inconvenience. I follow your instruction but it is still not working.
I tried to use now another Mac which I have here, with Mac system 10.6.8, where I use the safari version 5.1.10 (6534.59.10) and it works perfect.
Here are the screenShots:
The screenshot from the older computer: here you see the option Mail contents of this page.
Using that older Mac we have the perfect result, where you see the legal text + images, which i sent to me in bcc.
The result from my Mac with Maverick and after following the instruction:
You see the full legal text but no the image!
Maybe this is just a minor bug in Safari, to exploring yet and to improve. For the meantime I have to use the older Mac only for this part of the job. Not A PERFECT DAY (lou reed, RIP) but not the end of the world!
Thanks for you help and I´m looking forward to get news on this issue from you.

How to make business content available for reporting

I can see the business content going thru RSA1 for e.g for Sales 0SD_O01 etc
Now how can i make the content available for reporting.When I go in modeling and click on infoprovider, infoobject it doesnt show me anything.Its blank.
Do i have to connect R/3 to BW for reporting or load data to BW from R/3 and do reporting.Why the content is not showing in modeling?How can i make it available for reporting

Package Maker, Installer and receipt names

Hi all
I'm a little confused about the receipts that the installer drops into Library/Receipts. For instance, if it installs a file called Fred.abc, then the receipt file is also simply called Fred.pkg.
Now here's my question: what is to prevent a name clash? What if a completely different developer produces a completely independent project which also has a file named Fred dot something? Would the later Fred receipt overwrite the earlier one?
I'm particularly confused because Package Maker actually asks for an organisation string, such as "uk.co.mycompany.myproject", yet never appears to use it! Surely an obvious thing would be for my Fred receipt to be called "uk.co.mycompany.myproject.Fred.pkg" which can be pretty much guaranteed never to clash with any other company's names.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
Thanks in advance
Bob

if you use your system as the template and that folder exist, doesn't Package Maker create that directory on the client if it doesn't exist?
I know I've done this before but perhaps it was with a third party shareware package maker.

Creating new folders with Package Maker during preinstall actions?

I have figured out MOST of what I need to have a successful install package produced with Package Maker BUT... how do you create an empty folder? My application uses a few folders for archiving and scratch, but unless I add some text file to that path I can't figure out how to create the folder I need. I am only fluent in Applescript so I hope I can use that to create these folders but I will learn enough unix if need be. If it requires any other language to accomplish this task I guess I will have to go another route.
Any ideas?

It isn't part of PackageMaker at all. It is defined in "URL Types" in your application. See the source code to Bwana for a simple example.

How to prevent downgrading of the app in meta package using package versioning feature of package maker tool?

Hi,
Created an installer i.e, meta package using package maker tool. I want to prevent downgrading of the application or package on the target/installed volume.
Problem is, if there is a newer version of app and when I try to install any older version, then it does not throw any error message to the end user and replaces the existing newer version with the older version of app, which should not happen. But, if I check the package version using version comparison of Package maker tool, that works fine with flat packages i.e, with the .pkg files. So, I need the solution for metapackages(.mpkg) and want to prevent downgrading of app for metapackages. I am not getting any solutions for this. Can someone guide me on this?
Thanks for the help provided.

Package maker question...

Hi everyone!
I've got a question about doing an install with package maker. Everything is basically setup and running ok...but I noticed if I install a new version on top of an old version it will update the files of the same name but it will not just replace the entire app. For example version 1.0 has files A, B, C, D. And let's say version 2.0 has files A, B, E, F, G. The files that are the same (A, B) will be updated. The new files (F, G) will be added. But the old files that are no longer needed (C, D) will not be removed. So basically my question is how do you get the install of the new to completely overwrite the old?
Thanks in advance,
Reg
Note: I tried to work with the "Locator" feature but no matter what I did I was still not able to achieve the overwrite. Seems there must be something that I'm overlooking???

Hi Niel!
Thanks for the reply! If that's the way to do it is with a script then I know which route to go!

10.4.7 PPC and "Package Maker"

Just FYI - discovered this AM that none of my Package Maker projects open subsequent to installing 10.4.7 on a G4, and the app will not launch on its own either.
The crash log reports a missing resource from PrivateFrameworks. I performed all the usual precautionary steps prior to and after the update. I'm dowloading the latest dev tools to install in hopes that this will resurrect it.

Just an update, in case anyone else has the same problem: the re-installation (i.e., updating to the latest dev tools) has restored normalcy.

Including license check in Package Maker

hi there,
I need to include a license evaluation process in package maker application. That is, if an user enters an valid unlock key or provides a valid license file in the package maker installer, I need to install the specific .pkg file in the user's machine. Else, I need to prompt the user that "Invalid key entered, please enter a valid unlock key or license file". This is same as license validation process in windows environment. But searched a lot about including this process in package maker, couldn't find a way to make it here.
Is there some other installers for Mac could do this process or if package maker can, could you please explain the steps in detail or share any online documentation explaining this process. That will really help me a lot for coming to a conclusion.
many thanks.

But the sample scripts were not even executed single time in any of the above events. Could you please explain when, where and how will be the AppleScripts were executed in an installer package ?

Packaging multi bitrate content

Hi, this is my first time posting on Adobe Community.
I started some tutorials on HDS and I am having a problem in packaging multi bitrate content using f4fpackager.
I have a video under two bitrates (high and low). My goal is to create a manifest (f4m) containing all the information about the different bitrates. I am using the procedure described in http://help.adobe.com/en_US/HTTPStreaming/1.0/Using/WS9463dbe8dbe45c4c-c126f3b1260533756d- 7ffc.html, under the "packaging multi bitrate content section.
My problem is that the bootstrap files generated by the backager have the "movie id" and "quality enteries table" set as 0. The f4m generated contains two bootstrap files, one for each video. I took a look into the f4f packager documentation and I found no command line to set the "movie id" or "quality tables" parameter in the bootstrap file.
How can I generate a bootstrap file with the complete info ? Can I generate a unique bootstrap for both videos ? if yes How ?

You are right !
