[Casper] MPKG's

[Ernst, Craig S.]

Tim,

What Chad and Eric have stated I agree with. I attempted to use MPKGs, but they often won't work being pushed for various reasons. If you need to do other things like EULA supression, serialization, etc. then you are almost always better off building a DMG with Composer. That's what I've resorted to with Office 2008. I am able to use some of the additional bundled software MPKGs with like Final Cut Studio for additional audio content and motion content etc, but you need to make sure you check the logs if the MPKG fails to install...it may not appear to have failed up front, but check the logs. This was happening with the previous Office 2008 (service pack 1) 12.1.0 update that was an MPKG. I thought, great...I can push out the pre-made MPKG, but no such luck.

Good luck!

Craig

Hello all, I feel as if I should know this, but admittedly, I do not...

Is there a good method to follow for deploying MPKG's?  In particular, the new XML File Format Converter from Microsoft, or any of their other updaters?

Part two of this, is what about installers that have EULA's, or other parts of an installer interface that require user intervention?

Thanks all...
