I've finally got my PackageMaker-built installer working, but there's one issue remaining: the executables (an app and a plug-in) are not showing their icons. When doing a VISE-X install, they show up, but not after doing a package install. Anyone know how to tell why not, or how to force Finder to show them? Looking in Terminal, I can see a file whose name is listed as "Icon?" in both my source files and in the final install, but *something* must be different between the two, since the source files show their icon (as does the VISE-X installed version), but the package-installed versions don't. Any thoughts?

Thanks for all the help so far!

Is the root item of your package payload the application itself and the default target location /Applications? And is the application's icon not set through a bundle but through a Resource Fork?


If the answer is yes to both, then it's a known bug in PackageMaker, splitforks and Installer.app (pick one of the three depending on the OS version).

A workaround is to use / as the default location and have the Applications/MyApp path be part of your payload.
