I am not using any scripts. In PackageMaker in the Distribution Panel I specify User Home Directory In the Contents Section,Package Panel, Configuration Tab I specify Destination as /MYDIR/DIR/ The Contents is a Folder of Files. My expectation is that I would end up with: /userhome/mydir/dir1/folder of files/ -koko On Nov 4, 2012, at 3:40 PM, Stephane Sudre wrote:
Assuming you use a post-installation script to move the files to the user's folder (since with domains, you "can't" install both in / and in ˜), have you checked whether the installation "works" when you remove those scripts?

Which authorization do you require?
I do not understand the question.
What type of authentication does your installer package prompt the user for?
If you're installing anything outside of the current user's home directory, I suspect you would need elevated privileges - especially on newer versions of OS X.
I would like to install files to the users home directory. So whatever authorization is required to make that possible.
Installing into the current user's home directory does not require any additional permissions. If you desire to place files anywhere else, however, then you need elevated permissions.
When we test our installer packages, we test them in both admin and non-admin accounts. Non-admin accounts have a habit of bringing to light permission problems.
If you run your installer in a non-admin account, does the error message change?
