Title: Update: .pkg stored on Windows Servers
The solution to the question was as follows:
I need to make sure to set my minimum target for 10.5 Leopard and the .pkg will save as a single file which will then be seen as a single file when accessed via smb, cifs and http.
I guess it’s another PackageMaker setting that changes arbitrarily when reopening a saved .pmdoc.

I have created a simple distribution .pkg. When it is copied to a Windows
2003 server share, the .pkg is no longer recognized as a single file, rather
it shows up as a directory.
Two simple solutions are:
Build it as a flat package (if the technical restrictions are compatible with your contents & scripts)
or store the .pkg in a .dmg file, which should mount fine off the dmg, and be installable.
If you care about how the presentation to your end users, I highly recommend DMG Canvas by araelium.com <http://araelium.com>
Another solution which might be suggested, storing the pkg in a .zip, is less desireable, as your users will have to remember to copy the zip to their computer before the decompress it.
Hope this helps!
