  • Thread-topic: Command line created installer pkg not installing target application

Hello All,

I am slowly working my way through problems one by one. Thanks for your help
so far!

I am now able to create a package through the PM GUI, and have it install
and run a postinstall script properly.

My issue now is that I am trying to implement a command line build of my
installer package. When I run the following command line, it creates a
package where I expect it to be, but in the application directory, it only
installs two text files that should accompany the target application. The
application itself is not installed!

Here is the command line that I am using:

packagemaker -r /Users/admin/Desktop/installer_packages/MyApp\ X -o
/Users/admin/Desktop/MyApp\ X.pkg -i com.mycompany.MyApp -n 0.0.1 -t MyApp\
X -l /Applications/MyApp\ X/ -s
/Users/admin/Desktop/installer_packages/resources -g 10.5 -h system -v -b

I really appreciate any and all assistance! I am trying to make my questions
as complete as possible. Please let me know if I am not including the proper
information with which to formulate a suggestion.

Regards,

SteveO
