I am using Package Maker on MAC OS X 10.3.7 for what I think is a relatively simple installer. I built a few packages and put them into a meta package installer. All of them have the Authorization Action set to "Admin Authorization". The only Flag set is the "Required" field.
Some Macs, not all, have permission problems after running the installer. One guy in our test group found that his Applications folder had the permission changed to read only.
Anyone have any clues on this? Below is the note I got from our tester.
Thanks,
Bob

George figured out that the installed was messing up permissions. If
it helps, below are the results of repairing permissions in Disk
Utility after my second install (after already repairing permissions
once), which may indicate which permissions the installers is damaging.
I'm running 10.3.9.
