Debugging a Mac OS X Installer

deployexpert created the topic: Debugging a Mac OS X Installer
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:
lax.stderr.redirect

lax.stdout.redirect

to
lax.stderr.redirect
console
lax.stdout.redirect
console
When you relaunch the installer, the installer output should be now listed in
Console.app.
