PackageMaker installs nothing

Question

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

Answer 1

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.
