It sounds like your app is being relocated. Check your install log
and you'll probably see some line mentioning the diverting of your app
to somewhere else. The bad news is that the current way you are
calling PM there isn't a way to turn off relocation. For now you'll
have to create a pmdoc with the setting disabled. That is unless you
want your app to be upgraded wherever it happens to be on the system.
It's not a bad idea at all, but it can make it difficult for testing
for developers.

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
