| I have absolutely seen this with our most current MS Office package installer. Have not tested any of the fixes outlined in article below, but odd thing is it occurs seemingly randomly. Just tested this yesterday. 3x Office installer failed, only to have it work just fine on install #4.

I am now building installers on 10.6.7 (for distribution only on 10.6.7 machines), using XCode 3.2, and I am finding that a few app bundles and frameworks are relocated all over the filesystem, even in /var/tmp where I was doing some experimenting. Needless to say, this completely breaks our software.
I found this thread in the archives describing a similar problem:
I tried some of the ideas in here, none of which solved the problem. The man page for packagemaker, and several web pages that Google turned up, mention a flag "--no-relocate" or "-w", but these aren't actually recognized by the program itself.
Does anyone know how to completely disable automatic relocation? Right now it is effectively impossible for me to make a working graphical installer for Snow Leopard, since one of the relocated bundles is 'Python.app', which is basically guaranteed to be present in some form on the OS. (Which is potentially really bad, because I have no idea what it's overwriting with that bundle - it is completely opaque about where the installation is going.)
thanks, Nat
