Hi,
I'm using OS 10.5.6 and PackageMaker 3.0.3 (174).
In the Distribution --> Actions tab, I have specified two
Postinstall actions, "Show file in Finder" and "Create Alias". For
Create Alias, I am pointing to "component" and have selected
"MyProgram.app". I have also tried specifying the "absolute path".
There are no warnings or errors when I build the package, but the
postinstall actions don't work.
As a test, I tried the Open URL postflight action, and that *did*
work.
Could you tell us what path you set for the alias?
From what I see, PackageMaker uses an AppleScript script that
communicates with the Finder to create the alias. This is not a good
solution IMHO as this assumes too much regarding the environment.
