Thanks for your reply.  I realize what the issue is now.

I have one package that I want to install on the volume selected by the user, and another that I want to install in the user's home directory. (In the same distribution).

Does this require installing the files to a temporary folder and moving them with a script?

Assuming by OS 4, you mean Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger), you have access to
the domain installation options.

You will need to make sure you're building a distribution.

In the Distribution > Configuration pane, check the "User home
directory" "Install Destination" option and uncheck the "Volume
selected by user" option.

Reminder: everything from this distribution will be installed in ~/… .

Hi,

I'm using PackageMaker 3.0.3, and am targetting OS 4 and higher. I'd like
to install a package to the user's "Documents" or "Library" folder. What is
the best way to do this?
