TOPIC: Debugging a Mac OS X Installer

Debugging a Mac OS X Installer 2 years, 4 months ago #1127

InstallAnywhere utilizes the standard output layers in Mac OS X to display output. To
gather debugging output from an OS X installer, launch Console.app found in /
Applications/Utilities. To retain this information, cut and paste information from the
console window to a file.
If you do not see debug output from an installer, check the Info.plist file inside the
installer. To do this, Control-click (or right click) on the installer and select Show
Package Contents. Inside the Contents folder you will see an XML file named
Info.plist. You’ll need to change:
<key>lax.stderr.redirect</key>
<string></string>
<key>lax.stdout.redirect</key>
<string></string>
to
<key>lax.stderr.redirect</key>
<string>console</string>
<key>lax.stdout.redirect</key>
<string>console</string>
When you relaunch the installer, the installer output should be now listed in
Console.app.
