Could you tell us what path you set for the alias? _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored. Installer-dev mailing list (Installer-dev@lists.apple.com) Help/Unsubscribe/Update your Subscription: http://lists.apple.com/mailman/options/installer-dev/site_archiver%40lists.a... In the Distribution --> Actions tab, I have specified two Postinstall actions, "Show file in Finder" and "Create Alias". For Create Alias, I am pointing to "component" and have selected "MyProgram.app". I have also tried specifying the "absolute path". There are no warnings or errors when I build the package, but the postinstall actions don't work. As a test, I tried the Open URL postflight action, and that *did* work.

From what I see, PackageMaker uses an AppleScript script that communicates with the Finder to create the alias. This is not a good solution IMHO as this assumes too much regarding the environment. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
