I am experiencing installation errors when installing my Xcreds package with the following pre & post install scripts. The app installation does actually succeed, but the installer still throws the "Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance." error. Any idea why these scripts would fail when added to the package?
The preinstall script just terminates any running instances of XCreds and removes any existing installation of XCreds.app from the /Applications directory, and the postinstall script creates a backup of the system.login.console authorization right, installs a login plugin for Xcreds, and runs a login script for the application.
