Thanks a lot, it certainly is a lot easier to use and a lot less

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
