Since AppleScript may only work when you're running the installation
manually, a solution that would work every time would be to notify the
Finder about the creations of those files.
It is quite possible to write a command tool which could be invoked
from the postflight script and which would do exactly that.
In the Files.h header of the CoreCarbon framework you should find some
FSNot... APIs to do this.

Hi Rick,
You might be able to do this with some AppleScript in your postflight.
It looks like the Finder dictionary has an "update" command, which
"Updates the display of the specified object(s) to match their on-disk
representation". I don't know if this was available on Panther.

Hi folks,
In my installer I have some files that I am copying using the "cp"
command in a script. This seems to work fine in Tiger, but in
Panther (10.3.9) these files are invisible in the Finder. I can see
them using "ls" in the Terminal app. They become visible after I
relaunch the Finder, or restart the Mac.
Any ideas on why these files are invisible, and how to make the files
visible right away?
