Hi Mark,
Thanks a lot, it certainly is a lot easier to use and a lot less
flakey, but it still doesn't work. It does not create a folder in "/
Applications" it just installs the raw files there instead. I'm
giving up on PackageMaker, it just doesn't work and there doesn't
seem to be any support for it.
Seems crazy that you can't do this one simple thing with it, in
every other installer I've ever used this would have been a 5 min
job, 2 days later using PackageMaker and still nothing. Oh well,
such is life.
It would be crazy if it were true, but it's not.
I've just created a simple package maker project that installs to a
sub directory of /Applications and it works absolutely fine.
Here's how I did it.
I created a directory in my home folder that mirrored the way I want
the final installation to look i.e.
/Users/jeremyp/
-> /Applications
-> /ASubDir
I put the distribution application in ASubDir, so I have this
directory structure:
/Users/jeremyp/
-> Applications/
-> ASubDir/
-> MyApp.app
In package maker, I added /Users/jeremyp/Applications as content. On
the right hand pane
Install was /Users/jeremyp/Applications
Destination was /Applications (I had to change this from "/")
After running the installer with the built package, I had a
subdirectory within /Applications called ASubDir containing my
application exactly as expected.
I will go back to using the AppleScript's and try using the "xattr"
trick.
Thanks Again,
All the Best
Dave

Have you tried using the version of PackageMaker which comes with
Xcode 2.5? I'm probably in the minority here, but I find it much
easier to work with than the current version. You can download
Xcode 2.5 DevTools from the ADC website and then opt to install it
in a different directory from the current Dev Tools. You won't be
able to make use of 10.5 specific things like flat packages and
signed packages etc. but if you're also targeting previous versions
of OS X, then that's maybe not an issue anyway.
