I think that's the approach I'm going to have to take. I still have my Leopard DVD sitting around, I'll try building the thing in a VirtualBox or maybe even doing a separate Leopard edition of the platform installer. > > 7.

I don't have a good working solution for this, so the situation will have to remain status quo (i.e. clicking two installers) for now. > The platform installer is supposed to erase previous platform > editions before it installs itself. > > That's good. Is it possible to include an uninstaller as well? It would be pretty easy to bundle a shell script.
