(I am simplifying to reduce techsupport volume). This setup is routine for 3rd party apps, so I am going with the flow. The problem at hand is that I have set up, using Finder, my icon on my top-level folder to make it easier to find in the Applications list. This results in an Icon? file being created in the folder. After digging around a while I've seen the actual required name is something like \pIcon\r and this file is size 0 with the icon in a resource fork! (I guess a plain hidden .folder.icn file would have been too easy?) It appears that packagemaker or installer choke on this file, it shows up at the installation, but without the resource fork, extended attributes, and possibly without the special-character name, and of course it does nothing. Is there a way to get the installed folder's icon set up right, either by installing the Icon? file correctly or some other (simple) method? Adobe CS3 and Snapz Pro X have got it working somehow. I'd just as soon NOT have to create some (Carbon AE) program to go do this programmatically as a post-installation hack. Thanks. PS: It is a known bug that Packagemaker likes to turn "Allow Relocation" back on by itself, right? Pretty sure that's what happens. And that if it is on, and the user has dragged the old version of your app to the trash, Installer will (re)install the new version into the trash can, right? _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
