Can I give a PackageMaker installer a different icon so on the
desktop it appears with a custom icon instead of the generic icon
used by all PackageMaker installers?
You can do it the same way you can for any file. Just "Get Info" on
the file and the click on the icon in that box and paste your artwork
onto it. If you are using the older package format (as opposed to a
10.5 "flat package") then there are other tricks you can use (probably
not worth it). I don't personally think that this is a great idea, but
I can see how marketing would feel it is.
And I do want to make a slight correction in something implied in
your email: PackageMaker does not produce executables, it is not like
VISE. PackageMaker produces a .pkg document. It is the installer
program that then runs and interprets this document. Your email seemed
to imply that the .pkg was actually an installer (program).
