I'm trying to build simple application installers (one for 10.4, one for 10.5+)
that place required files into Application Support as well as the application
itself into the Applications folder. Our current installers (built with a
superset of the script below) work fine on a clean machine. The problem is
that if a version of the app already exists somewhere else on disk when
installer is run, the installer overwrites that copy of the app instead of
installing into the Applications folder - what we'd like. This could create a
number of tech-support issues that we'd rather avoid. Is there a reasonable
way to get the installer behaviour we want (always simply have it install a
fresh copy of our app into /Applications?) The version of PackageMaker is
3.0.2 (174).
Thanks,-- Paul

(The 10.4 installer is built similarly, but with "--target 10.4")
