Installer has a Locator, which uses TokenDefinifitions to

My previous solution solved this second problem, so we need to
solve the
first one, also.
So, to turn off LOCATOR:
In a FLAT package, you need to get rid of the <relocate> and
<locator>
tokens from the PackageInfo file, which is an XML file in disguise.
I'm trying to remove the "locator" and "relocate" options in a flat
package created with PackageMaker 3.0.3, and although I see the
LOCATOR feature in action (a trashed copy of my app gets updated *in
the trash* by the installer), I can't see the "locator" and "relocate"
options in any PackageInfo file in the package. What am I missing?
They can be in 2 locations:
- in the Package itself.
- in the distribution script (that is if you're ending up with a FLAT
metapackage)
I tend to remember PackageMaker favors the second solution.
My $0.02
