As has been mentioned in the archives but without a clear solution, I am trying to install to the User's Application folder ( ~/Applications).  To do this in PackageMaker I install to /tmp first then with postinstall script mv application to the user's Applications folder.  The problem is the receipt is trying to be copied by packagemaker to the /Library/Receipts folder instead of ~/Library/Receipts.  The installer does not require Admin privs so this does not work and I get this error in the log: Apr 26 10:39:05 Mac-Pro : pkgReceiptMaker[518]: 2007-04-26 10:39:05.052 pkgReceiptMaker[518] Error 13 (Permission denied) trying to rename App.pkg to /Library/Receipts/App.pkg What is required to avoid this error since the installer tells the user the installation failed because of this?? I tried on 10.2.8 and 10.4.9 and installing in /tmp with no authorization required is working fine. On a side note, I'm not sure there's something such as ~/Library/Receipts (it was not created on my machine and it would be strange to have it there somehow).
