Package maker (3.0.2) brittle at best

Hi,

I've just spent another couple of hours to add to the first couple of hours spent fighting with the package maker. I did have a set of rules about what worked and what didn't: Specifying absolute paths caused the contents of the package to be written to /Applications as Contents/ etc. etc. I also had, for a while, a thing where it would fail to install spewing dozens of "Diverting" messages to the log then successfully installing if I removed my build directory ... but now it doesn't work at all.

I'm not trying anything clever, I'm not just dismissing it out of hand and I'm not a complete dimwit so clearly there's something critical I'm missing here. Any idea what it is? Is there an update that fixes the ... glaringly obvious ... issues?

BTW, whoever thought it was more important to have reflective icons than to have the thing work (at all) should be sent to work on Vista.

Dave
