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.


Please see my last post. Did you set the Destination on the Contained and the Folder within it? It doesn't seem to work unless you do this. To me this seems odd, if left empty surely better behavior would be to use the Containing Item's Destination rather than "/" ? If you wanted it to go into "/", you could just override by entering "/" in the folder Destination.


Also did you try it with files other than just the .app file? e.g. the .app file and (say) a .txt file.

All the Best
Dave
