Not a direct answer to your question, but rather, more questions:-- what if there is no "current user" when the package is installed, like if the system is at the login prompt when the package is installed? What will happen if another user is added to the machine after the installer is run?

Dear all,

I just created with the Packages Installer a main installer which installs the application to the application folder and everything works fine.
Now I need to install in addition some files into the current user's home directory (a.k.a. ˜/).
Therefore I created based on the following guide (http://s.sudre.free.fr/Software/Packages/Q&A_3.html) a second installer (*.pkg).

I tried now to integrate that „second“ installer into my main installer and it seems that everything works fine but the files do not be installed into the current user's home directory.
To do so I used this guide (https://derflounder.wordpress.com/2013/11/03/re-packaging-installer-packages-with-packages/) to integrate my second installer into the main installer.
I could see that this is done with a RAW Package.

So my question is if anyone has some hints why it doesn’t work?

Thank you very much for any comment on this issue!
Best Regards,
Hanspeter Harpf
