You set drwxrwxrwx user staff as the privileges for the /Applications
folder.
You did not set any option as: Overwrite permissions, Use User Mask.
And the package does not require any authentication.
As the required privileges for /Applications are:
drwxrwxr-x root admin
the installer will not work on Mac OS X 10.3.
The description of the problem can be seen in the Log of Installer.app
(File : Show Logs)
The fact that this is working on Mac OS X 10.2 is a bug in the
Installation.framework.
So a solution to make everything works fine is to set the proper
owner/group and permissions and if I were you I would require admin
authentication to install stuff in /Applications.
Another solution is, if you don't install anything other than the
application in /Applications, to avoid using an Installer and just
indicate the user to drag and drop the folder in the /Applications
folder. There's only one limitation, you can't do this from a non admin
user account.
