Previously i was using Package Maker on Mac OS 10.4 without any
problems. Now, for the first time, i have to use the Package Maker
(ver 3.0.3) on Mac OS 10.5. I created a package that installs the
application in /Applications/MyApp folder. On running the package,
it creates the folder MyApp in /Applications folder, but the folder
is empty. The application file does not get copied.
Any idea why this is happening ?
Very likely PackageMaker is turning on the relocation flag due to a
longstanding bug. Relocation means that the Installer tries to find an
existing copy of your app to update. Say, the one in the source folder
that your package is built out of.
If you consult the install.log (which is CMD-L during install, and /
var/log/install.log afterwards), and you see stuff about relocation in
the log, that's the culprit.
About a month ago, I wrote a couple of emails explaining how to
override this flag -- ripping it out of the appropriate places in the
finished package.
