Have you tried Iceberg? I use that whenever I have a package that acts up that was made with Packagemaker...matter of fact, with InstallEase (from LANrev) I always create a package, and a Iceberg project file (it even collects your files into a "source" folder) so I can then fool around with the files should I have any issues with the package that was created. It also makes a DMG of your file structure, as well as an "uninstaller" which is just a script that removes what was installed.... -Mike On 9/8/08 3:49 PM, "Philip Aker" <philip.aker@shaw.ca> wrote: On Sep 8, 2008, at 11:13 AM, John Brisbin wrote:

Package Maker v3 is full of bugs and pretty much useless. I recommend copying across an old copy from Tiger.

When I needed to make installer construction part of the automated process, I reached the same conclusion independently, long before joining this list. I might have been more tactful, or I might not.

Personally I'd rather have Apple be graceful about the matter and provide a comprehensive bug-list instead of wasting the time of everyone who goes though the same unfortunate experience. For those of us who get payed per/contract rather than per/hour, it's a serious issue.
