Just write a postinstall shell script that sets the permissions.
If you don't know in advance what permissions the installed app is
expecting on the files, then it's kind of hard to know what
permissions you need to set.
As with all installers, the permissions (and owner/group) depends on the
location of the application.
If the application is in /Applications, then something different from
root:admin (775/664) is probably wrong.
Yeah, it seems that way, but the application is not mine and it seems to
be installed with the login users' permissions.
Where is the application supposed to be installed?
/Applications
If you need to change the permissions on some folders that already
exists, there is a flag to do so in Apple's package format (see the Info
pane if you're running PackageMaker on 10.2, the Settings pane if you're
using a 3rd party application).
I tried that, but it only worked on three of the four machines I tested
it on. But - the application seems especially picky about the
permissions on these files I am installing.
I added a postflight script that changed the ownership of my files to
match the application's, and all is well now.
