PackageMaker 3.0.3 issue - can't get it to install anything.

Hi I'm having a problem with PackageMaker version 3.0.3.

I have an app that up until just recently had everything in the bundle - then we wanted to add some commercial anti-piracy components.

So, I need to make a meta package containing just my application and the package for the 3rd party daemon.

Unfortunately PackageMaker has totally changed since the last time I used it and I can't seem to figure out how to make packages that install anything. When I started having problems, I decided to just go back to basics: install just my app in the /Applications folder.

I created a new project in PackageMaker, dragged my application into it, it chose /Applications as the default location. I set a package identifier.

I do a build and then get an installer package. I run the installer package and it appears to install, but my application is nowhere to be seen. Not in the /Applications folder anyway.

My app is getting put into the package - Archive.pax.gz contains a copy.

Any suggestions as to what I could be doing wrong would be greatly appreciated.

Also, when I tried to add the other package, it appeared to work, but when I ran my meta package, the daemon did not show up anywhere on my system.

I am very confused.

Thanks.

Brant Sears
