I'm using Xcode 4.2(PackageMaker) on Lion to deploy my software.
I've specified the install destination as the 'User Home Directory'.
I want to put an alias to the application file in the package onto the desktop.
In the 'Product Package Actions Pane' I created a 'Post Install Action' to create an alias.
For the alias, I 'point to' a 'component' and select the application file for the alias.
I've tried various 'alias paths', but when I build and run the installer, I get no errors, the files install correctly, and I can't find an alias for the application file anywhere on my computer.
How does this (or should this) feature work? What would the alias path look like? I tried relative addressing but that didn't work. Neither did direct addressing. Again, no indication of an error, but no alias either.
