I see what you mean. So I tried a different test. This time, I
installed v1.0 of the application and left it where it is. I then
tried installing v2.0. But when I study the results, I find that I
still have v1.0. Either upgrading does not work well, or something
else is amiss.
The user guide for PackageMaker 3.0 is quite unclear about the topic
of relocation. Then again, that is why I'm writing the article.

case here. Can anyone help clarify this? This is for a MacTech
article that I am writing.
I think that means "make buttons in the installer UI that will
install the thing in a different place." I think your story was
"after the installer is done, the user drags things elsewhere."
The second installer would have "found" the Receipt for the first
install, in /Library/Receipts/. But since you probably didn't
change the receipt file when dragging the app elsewhere, the second
installer didn't know to overwrite your moved application.
