site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: installer-dev@lists.apple.com User-agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.19 (X11/20081209) Glad it worked. No, I don't know if it is still needed with mpkg from PackageMaker 3.0.3. -Rick Hey Rick, Here's what works for me: It works perfectly! Thanks a lot! BTW: Removing IFPkgPathMappings was sufficient, IFPkgRelocatedPath does not appear in my package. Do you know if it is still needed with mpkg from PackageMaker 3.0.3? Best, Mario Emmenlauer -Rick Hi Bill, I'm referencing an old message here, where you adress my exact problem: I would very much like to get my hands on this specific email, however I could not find it in the archives (maybe it was on a different list? You post too frequent to be sure:-) ). My problem is that I generate the PackageMaker configuration auto- matically, and call PackageMaker with it. The relocatable flag is then *always* turned on, no matter what I specify in the xml. I tried PackageMaker versions 3.0.0 - 3.0.3 to no success. Can you tell me how to rip out the relocatable flag from either the xml before running PackageMaker, or from the final mpkg package?

Now, for the first time, i have to use the Package Maker (ver 3.0.3) on Mac OS 10.5. I created a package that installs the application in /Applications/MyApp folder. On running the package, it creates the folder MyApp in /Applications folder, but the folder is empty. The application file does not get copied. Any idea why this is happening ? Very likely PackageMaker is turning on the relocation flag due to a longstanding bug. Relocation means that the Installer tries to find an existing copy of your app to update. Say, the one in the source folder that your package is built out of. About a month ago, I wrote a couple of emails explaining how to override this flag -- ripping it out of the appropriate places in the finished package.
