I'm not sure about this, but I wonder if there are problems 
installing an app with older MBS with one with new MBS, on Mac.

This happened similarly with RB apps a year or so ago.

This is related to using Packagemaker to make installers. What 
happened was this:

I would make an app and a user would install it, it ran, great. Then 
he would install a new version using Packagemaker to install it. This 
would be a basic script; actually no pre or post scripts at all, just 
using the basic PM to install the app.

As we know, the Frameworks folder is where most of the .rbx-type 
things (MBS and other) wind up. In the case I had earlier, PM didn't 
really wipe out the Frameworks folder of the app it was replacing, it 
more or less added to it, so the Frameworks folder wasn't fully 
representative of what was being installed, but was a merging of files.

So running the newly installed app would crash, it would indicate an 
Error 4 runtime error in RB.

I recently updated MBS from 11 to 12, and I put my app in PM and gave 
it to a client, and he reported the app crashing on startup. This 
wasn't an Error 4, more like a Apple crash, but the crashlog seems to 
indicate the same things I experienced earlier.

\Exception Type:  EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT)

I need to do further research on this, there's more I can find out.

I know this may be more a Packagemaker problem, but in your 
experience how solid are new MBS versions being installed over older apps?
