InstaDMG ONLY installs packages with an InstallerChoices.xml file

Hi,

I’m having problems making InstaDMG work — this is with r179 (r210 give even more problems)

Everything in the BaseUpdates folder installs just fine, but in the CustomPKG folder only the files UNTIL the iLife ’09.mpkg install correctly. All of the subsequent files (iLifeMediaBrowser_203.pkg, iLifeSlideshow_103.pkg, HP_Laserjet (n2700 og 3055).pkg, Mozy 1.2.0 Installer.pkg etc.) appear in the log as you can see but:
1. None of them actually have an InstallerChoices.xml file in their folder.
2. None of them actually get installed.

This continues until InstaDMG finds the next package that actually has an InstallerChoices.xml file (MS Office), which it then installs just fine, but then it continues NOT installing any of the subsequent packages again claiming that they are installed with an InstallerChoices.xml.

The iLife ’09.mpkg is the first package that uses an InstallerChoices.xml file (besides the BaseOS) if that helps. It’s seems like the reason the packages aren’t installing is that InstaDMG expects them to have an InstallerChoices.xml file and then skips them because it can’t find it?

Any ideas?
