Does anyone know the difference between the two?
I'm struggling to work out if they actually run the script at a different time?

+4John,
My understanding is this: - Postflight: Runs at the end of the installation process, whether the Installer thought it was performing an upgrade or a new installation. - Postinstall: Runs at the en of the installation process, but only if it the Installer thought it was performing a new installation.
I use the same distinction for "preflight" versus "preinstall".
