Hi again, I don't know if I can continue this topic but I have futher related problems with my Installer.
I have shared files that's not included in the Mac or Win installers. The installers get this files from a script and install them in the right location. There's accentuated characters in the folder names. This time it's an "ä" and the ASCII code is I belive 303 244. So I put in \0303\0244 in the text but there's more to it and I need help with that?
The script for OS X goes as follow:
On the CD is a folder "in the same directory as the Installer" called "FINDATA" and in that to folders "Självstudier and Hjälpfiler". In "Självstudier" is placed a movie "Lektion6b.mov" that the installer will get and the folder called "Hjälpfiler".
Thank's
peli

pkgutil
pkgutil(1) BSD General Commands Manual pkgutil(1)NAME
pkgutil -- Query and manipulate Mac OS X Installer packages and receipts.
SYNOPSIS
pkgutil [options] [commands]
DESCRIPTION
pkgutil reads and manipulates Mac OS X Installer flat packages, and provides access to the ``receipt'' database used by the Installer.
Options are processed first, and affect the operation of all commands. Multiple commands are performed sequentially in the given order.
The files and directories where receipts are stored are subject to change. Always use pkgutil to query or modify them.
OPTIONS --help, -h A brief summary of commands and usage.
--force, -f
Don't ask for confirmation before performing a potentially destructive or ambiguous operation.
--verbose, -v
Output in a "human-readable" format with extra headers, footers, indentation, and other contextual information.
--volume path
Perform all operations on the specified volume or home directory. The root volume '/' will be used if unspecified.
--edit-pkg package-id
Specifies an existing receipt to be modified in-place by --learn.
--only-files
List only files (not directories) in --files listing.
--only-dirs
List only directories (not files) in --files listing.
--regexp Try to match package-id arguments as a regular expression if an exact match isn't found. See egrep(1) and re_format(7) for syn-
tax.
RECEIPT DATABASE COMMANDS --packages, --pkgs
List all installed package IDs on the specified --volume.
--pkgs-plist
List all installed package IDs on the specified --volume in Mac OS X plist(5) format.
--pkgs=REGEXP
List all installed package IDs matching REGEXP on the specified --volume. The equal sign (=) is required or the search string
will be ignored and all package IDs will be returned. Be mindful of escaping characters in both your shell and the regular
expression. (Eg, 'pkgutil --pkgs=\.D' searches for package IDs matching the literal '.D' after escaping the backslash from your
shell and then the dot from the regex to make it literal.) Regular expressions are more complex than simple shell globbing. A dot
(.) matches any character, while '*' matches zero or more of the previous character. See re_format(7) for a complete description
of the syntax.
--files package-id
List all of the files installed under the package-id.
--export-plist package-id
Print all receipt information about the specified package-id in the standard Mac OS X plist(5) format.
--verify package-id
Run repair_packages(8) to verify the specified package-id.
--repair package-id
Run repair_packages(8) to repair the specified package-id.
--pkg-info package-id
Print extended information about the specified package-id.
--pkg-info-plist package-id
Print extended information about the specified package-id in Mac OS X plist(5) format.
--forget package-id
Discard all receipt data about package-id, but do not touch the installed files. DO NOT use this command from an installer pack-
age script to fix broken package design.
--learn path
Update the ACLs of the given path in the receipt identified by --edit-pkg. This affects subsequent repair operations on the
package. This command cannot be used from package postinstall scripts, but if a postinstall script changes the ACLs on the
installed files, the receipt is automatically be updated to reflect those changes. This command will not update the filesystem
permissions in the receipt.
--pkg-groups package-id
List all of the package groups this package-id is a member of.
--groups List all of the package groups on the specified --volume.
--groups-plist
List all of the package groups on the specified --volume in Mac OS X plist(5) format.
--group-pkgs group-id
List all of the packages that are members of this group-id.
--file-info path
Show the metadata known about path.
--file-info-plist path
Show the metadata known about path in Mac OS X plist(5) format.
FILE COMMANDS --expand pkg-path dir-path
Expand the flat package at pkg-path into a new directory specified by dir-path.
--flatten dir-path pkg-path
Flatten the dir-path into a new flat package created at pkg-path. The directory to be flattened must have the proper contents
and layout for a flat package. This is not intended as a substitute for pkgbuild(1).
--bom path Extract any BOM files from the flat pkg at path into /tmp and return the filename(s). Suggested use is as an argument to
lsbom(8). Eg, "lsbom `pkgutil --bom path`". Note that some flat package archives may contain no BOM, one BOM, or several BOMs.
--payload-files path
List the files archived within the payload of the uninstalled flat package(s) contained at path. This should be equivilant to
"lsbom -s `pkgutil --bom path`". Note that flat package archives may contain more than one package, and the destination location
for the uninstalled package(s) is unknown to this command.
--check-signature pkg-path
Check the validity and trust of the signature on the package at pkg-path. In addition to the status of the signature, the asso-
ciated certificate chain will be shown.
