But the problem persists. Then I did some R&D with PM-3.0 and PM-2.1.1. One more thing is that the if you build a .mpkg file from PackageMaker 3.0 in Leopard( 10.5.2 ), the Maximize button is enabled even if background image is set. And its only for .mpkg files, not for .pkg files. After these observations from my R&D, I came to the conclusion that, .pkg files built with PackageMaker 2.1.1 in Mac OS 10.4.11 has its Maximize button disabled. Inputs on this issue and the observations are highly appreciated. Thanks.... Regards, Damodar. And, yes, I know this doesn't help you at all, but I'm curious in case I'm missing something interesting I could do with the installer.

I launched some of the .pkg files from the Xcode developer tools installation CD. I found that the Maximize button was disabled. I have to ask: What is the advantage of maximizing the installer window? I'm having trouble understanding why that would be a requirement. Unless it's one of those "That's the way it works on Windows" things from management. In which case I understand. - seeing big ReadMe or License document without requiring to much scrolling - seeing the complete name of packages in the customization mode when names are long This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
