Ouch.

This is the first time we used the NEXTSTEP installer procedure in a
long time.  When I built the install package there was a permissions
problem that forced me to rebuild it.  Although I had tested the
directory from which the install package was built from I must have
overlooked testing the final packaging.

I do not know whether I'll get a chance to fix this in the next 24
hours.  I was up for a long time rolling 1.99q and I have to get some
artwork to the printer by 10am tomorrow morning, so I may have to
sleep for an extended period before I can do anything about this.
I'll try to get it fixed before we head out of town.

Judging from your description I would assume that the workaround is to
make a /LocalApps/Executor.app directory and gather all the individual
files into that wrapper.  Ugh.

We're going to be automating the procedure we use to make experimental
and bleeding edge releases, but not until after we have a few format
changes that will happen when E2 goes beta.
