Like I said, there's no workaround for this. Leopard should have
improved support for installing into home directories.
I suggest you create a drag-installable solution.

My goal is to install to their home directory using non-admin. What
do I use for the Default Location field to install in a user's home
folder? You get the warning about the installer not able to expand
~ if you simply use "~/Applications" and to use a postflight script
to copy the files to the home folder instead.
Thanks.

doing a non-admin install, the install location MUST be to their
home directory or a sub-directory of the same, or you will have
this problem.

As has been mentioned in the archives but without a clear
solution, I am trying to install to the User's Application folder
( ~/Applications). To do this in PackageMaker I install to /tmp
first then with postinstall script mv application to the user's
Applications folder. The problem is the receipt is trying to be
copied by packagemaker to the /Library/Receipts folder instead of
~/Library/Receipts. The installer does not require Admin privs so
this does not work and I get this error in the log:
Apr 26 10:39:05 Mac-Pro : pkgReceiptMaker[518]: 2007-04-26
10:39:05.052 pkgReceiptMaker[518] Error 13 (Permission denied)
trying to rename App.pkg to /Library/Receipts/App.pkg
What is required to avoid this error since the installer tells the
user the installation failed because of this??
