Hello, Mr. Claeson.
Thank you for your reply.
I tried building two installers, one is with "Allow Relocation" turned
on, and the other is with the option turned off.
I doesn't seem to make difference though. The option is originally for
allowing users move the installed files after installation.
Probably it is because I successfully install the interested file
previously.
The document says :
When the user installs a relocatable component a second time on the
same computer, the installer application searches for the component's
existing files in additional locations in the file system, not just the
location at which the component was installed, according to the
installer package database.
So, it may help on a troubled machine we tried install it, but on my
local MacBook Pro, I installed it to the /Applications folder a few
times successfully, so the one with the "relocation" option should be
able to install the files to the /Applications folder consistently, but
it didn't.
So,.. what I guess now is that.. probably turning on the "Allow
relocation" can be a temporary solution to my installation problem.
Anyway, I think Apple should be more clear on this policy also.
It seems to me that it recognized the interested files in a previous
version of the installer package, and it "touched" the one in the
installer package.
So, according to the document, it searched the existing file, but it was
too much!
(The default one was "Combination Search" with its default path is set
to /Applications/***.app and its identifier as
com.<companyname>.<productname>. Because its default path is set to
/Applications/***.app, it should check the location and if no such one
exists, it should install files there, not searching the same one in
Xcode project's build directory or another installer package's content. )
Thank you for your guidance.

Try unchecking the relocatable checkbox.
