Percentage complete in Casper Remote?

Not applicable

Sometimes when we are installing packages in Casper Remote, we will see a percentage install (ex: "24% installed Office2004.dmg"). But not all the time. Does anybody know what the requirements are for this?

The biggest complaint from all of my fellow techs, as well as myself, is that we have no idea how fast or even if a package is being installed. We were hoping these feature would be added in version 6, and it sort of looks like it is (we even see in the log the showprogress command) but we can't get it to work on a consistent basis.

Any help would be appreciated.

I guess I would appreciate some technical clarification on what makes this happen and not as well.

I think you'll only see it when you're pushing something to a Leopard box.

But that is not consistent either. We have seen it not work even to a Leopard box. Does it matter what version of Casper the package was indexed/built with?
