I've being experimenting since I wrote the above. My installation
consists of a folder that contains an application. I want the
folder to be created in "/Applications", however, it doesn't seem
to let me do this. I end up with just the .app file in "/
Applications", not a folder with the app inside it as I expected.
So, how do I get it to create a folder that contains my app file?
Why doesn't drag and drop work?
AFAIK it does work, but my boss wants to be able to display a "T&C"
page etc. and he wants an installer. Also it isn't a straight
forward .app file, it's an App file that is in a folder that also
also contains other folders/files.
Does your app *have* to be in /Applications? If so, that means all
the users with non-admin accounts won't be able to install the app
(and if you require read/write to anything in that folder, they
can't use it either-- nor can multiple users on one machine).
No, it doesn't have to be in "/Applications", but this is the
recommended place to put it if you want it to be accessible to all
users on the machine, isn't it? If not where does it get stored?
That's where every other app is stored and it's where it has been
stored up until now (using the AppleScript Installer) and I haven't
had any problems reported of people not being able to access it, or
are you saying it won't be accessible using a PackageMaker installer?
But consider a user who ISN'T an administrator, or who wants to the
run/install the application just for themselves, not all people.
They'd want to place your application somewhere else. e.g. ~/
Applications/
Drag and drop gives them the freedom to choose. (On a personal note, I
like to test applications from within the DMG before installing if
possible too).
With a T&C page, you could also make that part of your app and display
it on the first launch.
