I am creating an installer package and want to include an applescript to run before the installer. I've tried everything and can't resolve.

The installer will run various shell scripts (technically, executables) with specific names in the package as part of the install process; you could create a shell script that calls osascript(1) and make that your preinstall script. See <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/DeveloperTools/Conceptual/ SoftwareDistribution/Concepts/sd_pre_post_processing.html> for details of all the scripts and how they're arranged. There isn't any explicit support in PackageMaker for this; you simply have to add the appropriate files to the package resources.
