I was following this link https://jamfnation.jamfsoftware.com/discussion.html?id=6885 to dump the installer to /pvt/tmp and run install -pkg <name> -tgt /...

this has worked pretty well, however now with this MFP driver I got, it's got 3 separate installers in different folders...
I tried just doing a seperate install -pkg for each installer, but that failed out... what's the best way to do something like this?

#!/bin/sh
installer -pkg /private/tmp/Frontier-R/MAC_Installer/MAC_Printer/Printer Driver Installer.app -tgt /
installer -pkg /private/tmp/Frontier-R/MAC_Installer/MAC_Twain/ScanThru Installer.app -tgt /
installer -pkg /private/tmp/Frontier-R/MAC_Installer/MAC_ICDM/ICA Driver Installer.app /tgt /

i downloaded the driver from here http://ftp.dell.com/Pages/Drivers/dell-2335dn.html Frontier R 2.07 CD Release

    This should still work. If this is the exact code that you are executing, then it looks like the problem is with the spaces in the file names and the /tgt in the last one.

    The fix is to either escape the spaces or enclose the entire path in quotes. Both of these should work:```

    !/bin/sh

    installer -pkg /private/tmp/Frontier-R/MAC_Installer/MAC_Printer/Printer Driver Installer.app -tgt /
    installer -pkg /private/tmp/Frontier-R/MAC_Installer/MAC_Twain/ScanThru Installer.app -tgt /
    installer -pkg /private/tmp/Frontier-R/MAC_Installer/MAC_ICDM/ICA Driver Installer.app -tgt /

    ```
#!/bin/sh
installer -pkg "/private/tmp/Frontier-R/MAC_Installer/MAC_Printer/Printer Driver Installer.app" -tgt /
installer -pkg "/private/tmp/Frontier-R/MAC_Installer/MAC_Twain/ScanThru Installer.app" -tgt /
installer -pkg "/private/tmp/Frontier-R/MAC_Installer/MAC_ICDM/ICA Driver Installer.app" -tgt /
