site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: installer-dev@lists.apple.com I could find no documentation on how this is supposed to work. Looked in PackageMaker_UserGuide_10.5.pdf. I tried several variations and got no aliases. I used this syntax: I would like to be able to put an Alias in the Dock and on the Desktop. Thanks, Jim Hoyt, Filemaker Developer, Great Cacapon, West Virginia. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.

PackageMaker 3.01 (Leopard) has an Actions function that is supposed to let you create an alias as a Postinstall Action. Point to Component (then selected the .app), Alias Path: /Desktop (also tried /Desktop/) Since the package I am installing has about a dozed file in the program folder, I don't want to force the user to find the right one and put in on the Desktop or Dock. I know it doesn't suit some people's tastes to plunk things on the users workspace, but that is my choice, and knowing my users, they will like my choice. Any help deeply appreciated, if you know of some more detailed documentation, that would be great, also. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
