I also whack the TokenDefinitions and the IFPkgPathMappings in the
package output - ala:
rm -f /path/to/some.pkg/Contents/Resources/TokenDefinitions.plist
defaults delete /path/to/some.pkg/Contents/Info IFPkgPathMappings
plutil -convert xml1 /path/to/some.pkg/Contents/Info.plist
chmod 664 /path/to/some.pkg/Contents/Info.plist

Yep, that looks like it. Should have looked at the logs more closely.
"Diverting ./Blah.app to ./Desktop/untitled folder 5/Blah.app"
I've have now tried building the installer twice, once with
IFPkgFlagRelocatable ticked and once with IFPkgFlagRelocatable
unticked in the Info.plist and neither installer works. Is this the
correct flag to be changing?
With building the installers not using the pmproj file, I based the
required Info.plist file and Description.plist file from a working
installer.
Thanks

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
