You are almost certainly being bit by the "relocation" feature/bug. Search this list for "relocation".

Hi,

I have moved my main development machine to 10.5 and I'm now fighting to get our installers to build with packagemaker and then install correctly.
Fortunately we still have a 10.4 machine where everything works perfectly. The installers built on 10.4 install fine on both 10.4 and 10.5.


All installers are built through a shell script and call packagemaker to build based on the packagemaker pmproj file.
The problem here is that our Resources directory is not being included in the installer so the postinstall, postupgrade scripts are missing.


After reading the man page I saw that you can specify the Resources dir but only if you don't use the pmproj file and specify all the paths directly.
I have also tried this and the Resources are now included but then out main Application.app (bundled application) is not copied out of the installer into the correct folder. There are another 6 files in this folder and they are all copied correctly. I have opened the installer package and the Application.app is indeed present in the installer.


Has anyone encountered anything like this before?

Using PackageMaker version 3.0.3, Mac OS X 10.5.8, Intel iMac.

Cheers
Dave
