My suggestion: check the package's Components tab and see if the
"Allow Relocation" box is selected for your app. I'd recommend you
unselect it. If it is selected, the installer will find the package by
hook or by crook elsewhere on your system and perform the installation
there, instead of where you think it is going to. If you've got a
development machine with several old copies of the application in
various places, it could be going anywhere!
If this is your problem, beware also that PackageMaker tends to re-
enable the Allow Relocation setting when you make significant changes
to the package, so check it again before you ship.

Hi -
I'm a newbie to Mac development. I've been trying to use Package
Maker to create an installation package for a Java application, but
for some reason I can't quite get it to work. The package seems to
generate correctly, it looks to be about the right size for the app
I'm trying to install, and it runs to completion when I execute it...
but none of my files show up in the target directory.
