| .pkg files: if exists() condition doesn't work? |

Hi all,
I've tried using the "if exists(filename)" condition in my .pkg file
(using
Series 60 v2.0 SDK).
As far as I understand it checks for the existence of a file on my PC. What
I'm trying to do is installing a configuration file only if it exists.
However, it seems that the condition is always considered true, so if the
file doesn't exists I get a "file not found" error.
Has anybody managed to use this condition, or is this a known problem?
TIA
Uriah

The file tested for is on the device and the test is run while installing,
not while creating the sis file.

Whoops... 10x. I had a feeling this is the issue after reading again the
.pkg documentation. I also tried to test it, but I tested for the existence
of a file which I install, and that was probably a mistake. The file did
exist (I installed over a previous version), but I guess it was deleted
before my installation started.
