i have a problem, which is exactly as here http://compgroups.net/comp.sys.mac.apps/PackageMaker-not-installing-my-app (no solution is offered)

simply said, with PackageMaker i create an installer, which should just copy the .app inside /Applications

all goes well, the installer has the apropriate size of 150MB, the install starts, iam promped for the install location and admin password, i click install, progress shows up and a window that installation was successfull, but when i look at the Applications, or the custom folder specified, its nothing there

i tryed the PackageManager from Xcode 3 and also 4, but the result is the same, i also tryed to set the file permission for everybody, so they are world writable, but no success

    Are you testing the installer on the same machine where you are building the installer? If you’ve set the “Allow Relocation” box a install will simply overwrite your already existing app you used for packaging instead of installing to /Applications.
