First, thank you for taking your time to help me. Very kind of you.
I put the code you sent (below) in a file named MakeLink.rtf and put a
reference to that file in the PostFlight Script field in the Package
screen.
PackageMaker builds the installer successfully, so it is reading the
script file, but Installer fails when it tries to run the script.
I am assuming I don't need to change anything in the script you sent
me.
The folder and file names are correct in this script. I am guessing
that the $3 gets the hard drive name (or root), and the $user is the
current user.
I must still be leaving something out.
Any more thoughts?

Thanks, but I only got more confused. I am not an XCode developer,
just a lowly Filemaker Developer.
Using Terminal I found that using this command:
ln -s /Applications/Compass_4.0.13/Compass.app ~/Desktop/
Start_Compass
does exactly what I want.
Problem is, I don't know how to make that happen as a script called
by the installer.
Any thoughts?
. It's not an alias but a symbolic link. Symbolic links are cheap
aliases.
. If you want to go this way, you would need to add a postflight
script that would look like this:
#!/bin/sh
/bin/ln -s $3/Applications/Compass_4.0.13/Compass.app $USER/Desktop/
Start_Compass
exit 0
