The problem is: Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Regards, Damodar. Thanks Mike, Then I did some R&D with PM-3.0 and PM-2.1.1. AFAIK, the behavior is the following one: (a) if you use a distribution script, the window is resizable. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.

I have set the installer window's background image to background.tiff image file. When I build the package and open it, the maximize button in the installer window will be disabled. But when I create the same installer package without any custom background image, and open the .pkg file, the maximize button is enabled and is working fine. Can anyone Please tell me why is this behavior shown? How can I solve this problem? Is there any flags needed to be set to resize window? Is the background image set to "Size to fit" or "Proportional"? One of those settings probably limits the window resize, but I haven't tried it personally. Yeah I have set a background image, and I tried it with both the options - "Size to fit" or "Proportional". But the problem persists. I think the problem is that its the default behavior of mac installer. I launched some of the .pkg files from the Xcode developer tools installation CD. I found that the Maximize button was disabled. One more thing is that the if you build a .mpkg file from PackageMaker 3.0 in Leopard( 10.5.2 ), the Maximize button is enabled even if background image is set. And its only for .mpkg files, not for .pkg files. After these observations from my R&D, I came to the conclusion that, .pkg files built with PackageMaker 2.1.1 in Mac OS 10.4.11 has its Maximize button disabled. Inputs on this issue and the observations are highly appreciated. (b) if you do not use a distribution script, the window is resizable if there is no background picture. (b) is to support forward compatibility. Because you would not appreciate that a background picture which was conceived for a fixed- size window can be used for a non fixed-size one. I know I would not (IIRC I made a bug report against it some years ago). What you're seeing in your last case is a bug in PackageMaker 3 (IMHO). When you select a 10.3 target, no distribution script should be included into the metapackage. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
