Packages lets you create distribution and installation packages.
Who is it for?
Well, imagine you are a software developer who just completed a project and it's time to work on shipping it. Or you are an administrator and you need to deploy a plugin on the Mac computers of your network. Whenever you need to create an installation package or distribution for Mac OS X 10.5 or later, Packages is the powerful and flexible solution you're looking for.
With Packages, you can define which applications, bundles, documents or folders should be part of the payload of your installation packages and where they should be installed. You can even set what the owner, group or permissions of the payload items should be upon installation. And if you need to also install an existing package, just import it so that it can be added to your distribution.
Presentation Editor
With its WYSIWYG editor, Packages lets you set and localize the customizable panes of your distributions. Checking how your distribution looks like in different languages has never been so easy. You can even add Installer plugins to your distribution.

Great tool. Thanks to dev for making this for free.
1 - just have a little trouble with adding reference to a standard folder as /System/Library/CoreServices (without all files in it) in the same way to the /System/Library/Extensions.
2- does not seems to save payload default destination. always reset to / when project is opened.
This is maybe due to a bad use by me !

2. Ouch. It is not fixed in 1.0.1 as I don't read comments on MacUpdate (or equivalent sites) as often as I read my mailbox. I will make sure it's addressed in 1.0.2.

- the application is in the payload of the Installer (that can be checked with Pacifist)
- it works fine on my Mac for a clean install or an update on Mac OS X 10.6.4.
I would suggest checking, with Spotlight for instance, that you did not have a previous version of the application that has been moved outside the /Applications folder. The installation "package" for Packages looks for previous versions of the application and update the first one it finds.
