We have installed basICColor color management software on all our Macs, and now there is a specific configuration file (.dcj) that we need to place into a User Settings folder. The folder path is ~/Documents/basICColor display 5/UserSettings . What I want is to make a package that simply drops that file into that folder for all user folders on a given Mac.



I tried making the package in Composer by dragging the configuration file into the left sidebar under Sources, and building the package. I then placed the Package in Casper Admin, and made sure to turn on Fill Existing User directories. I then tested installing the pakage with Remote on my Mac and my coworkers Mac. It worked on mine but not his.



What am I doing wrong here? I'm thinking that its something to do with how I am building the package, in that it worked for me since it knew the exact path to install to as it was built on my machine. Is there a simpler way to tell Casper "Take this file and put it here for everyone"?



Thanks,

Can you post a screenshot of the Composer contents? Also check the permissions on the settings. If you left yourself as the owner, that could be the cause.

It sounds like you are doing it correctly except for one thing: You must build the package as a DMG, not a PKG.



DMGs allow you to use FEU and FUT, PKGs do not.

Look at the Owner and Group down there. I would set the owner to the local admin of the machine, the group to staff, and give group & everyone executable rights. That's my suggestion. I would also set this at the basiCColor Display 5 folder level and apply permissions down.
