I have two macOS applications: Application A, named My App.app with the bundle ID com.comp.myapp, and Application B, named My App.app with the bundle ID com.comp.myapp2. Both applications have the same name. Application A is installed at /Applications/My App.app. When I run the installer for Application B, it gets installed in a folder at /Applications/My App.localized/My App.app. Even if I remove Application A using the preinstall script of Application B's installer, the result remains the same. Does the installer determine the installation path with the new folder before the preinstall script executes? How can it be addressed so the new folder will not be created? Notes: We have a composite package that contains multiple components. Instead of just running pkgbuild, we use our own components.plist rather than a synthesized one. The components.plist is attached. The PackageInfo for Application B is also attached. components.plist PackageInfo packageInfo.xml components.plist

Is it possible to determine the location of the pkg file being ran from inside of an InstallerJS block? If so what would the function invocation be?

We have an app that is distributed in our .pkg installer (using pkgbuild and productbuild). Now we need to perform various system checks, eg. minimum macOS version and then continue or abort the installation, based on conditions. When we do that in the pre-install script, it works but the user experience is not what we need. The installation aborts with a generic message. What we want is to show the progress, eg. which checks have failed and why, a link to open the installation log, and to gracefully exit the installation. Is it possible to achieve all this without resorting to writing a custom installation mac app ?

Hello, I'm keeping on getting a failure when trying to install an App from Samsung Dex. The report says to "disconnect your phone to install" but NO phone is connected. I tried various command line and numerous troubleshooting to reset and refresh some KEXT but still issue exists. Here is the install.log below. What could be the work around this bug? How to reset and proceed with installation?
