Hi Matt,
Thanks so much for this. I was using PM version 3.0.2, I hadn't
realized that there was a new version of XCode available, for some
reason I thought it would auto-magically detect a new version and
offer to update itself. Anyway I downloaded the latest and installed
it, so I now have PM 3.0.3. Using this version I was able to re-
create your experience!
------------------
Anyway, these problems went away with 3.0.3. I now have four
remaining problems:
1. The folder I drag into the PM window has a custom icon on it.
This does not get copied correctly, when installed it is just a
plain folder. I am guessing it's because the Icon hidden file it's
copied over or re-created correctly. No big deal.
If you set /Application/AppFolder as destination, the AppFolder is
created by the installer, and so, the Custom Icon Finder flag will not
be set on it.
2. When I run the Install Package after the Initial Screen and
clicking "Continue", I get to the Screen where is says - Standard
Install on "VolumeName", there is a button that says "Change Install
Location", if I press it brings up a list of all mounted volumes
(including iPod's!). I can't seem to find a way to get rid of this,
I just want it be be installed in "/Applications" on the System
Volume and nowhere else. This is much more of a problem.
In the Distribution settings, there is a "System Volume" check box and
a "Volume Selected by user" check box.
3. Empty folders do not seem to be installed and I can't seem to
find a way to enable the installation of empty folders. This a
significant problem too.
4. .DS_Store files are included in the install package unless you
un-check them. No Big Deal.
I think the .DS_Stores files are filtered at build time (using the
File Filters… settings).
Well at least I have something to show now!
Thanks again to all that helped.
All the Best
Dave

Thanks a lot, it certainly is a lot easier to use and a lot less
flakey, but it still doesn't work. It does not create a folder in
"/Applications" it just installs the raw files there instead. I'm
giving up on PackageMaker, it just doesn't work and there doesn't
seem to be any support for it.
Seems crazy that you can't do this one simple thing with it, in
every other installer I've ever used this would have been a 5 min
job, 2 days later using PackageMaker and still nothing. Oh well,
such is life.
Dave, After 5 minutes in PackageMaker (having never used it before
and not having read any instructions) I was perfectly able to
install an app and other files within a Sub-folder of /Applications
This is with PM 3.0.3:
Assuming your folder with app and files is MyApp (and that it isn't
already in /Applications):
1. Create a new Package.
2. Drop MyApp into the Contents section of the package
3. In Configuration > Destination enter /Applications/MyApp
4. If you always want to ensure the actual app ends up in that
folder and does not update an existing installation elsewhere on
the disk:
4a. In Components, turn off the Allow Relocation checkbox
5. Build and Run
That's it
My guess is that for Step 3, you just had /Applications. That's
what I had the first time I tried it and everything did indeed get
put directly in /Applications.
Hope that helps
