Hi Clayton,

In your postinstall script above, the "applyChoiceChangesXML" flag is preceded by a double hyphen "--", but it looks like it should be a single hyphen. I was getting errors and when I began troubleshooting my package using the command line installer, I got "installer: invalid option --applyChoiceChangesXML". When I changed it, my package worked great.

Thanks a million for your great resources!

@milkerson, thanks I have updated the gist to only have a single hyphen. Comments on gists don't receive emails notifications normally so that's why this took so long for me to see your comment.
