Ok. Thanks for the clarification. I agree that drag-installable
solution is easiest but have found even this is a bit complicated for
many users when your market is teachers in the K-12 grades.

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??
