I am trying to browse destination folder for the installation through 'Browse' button. But it tells me that "Product's installation directory should end with .app". There are mixed up 2 things Destination folder and Application executable. The Destination directory should point to the folder - it is correct in the installer. But there should be some field where the "Application executable file" can be set. See the attached screenshot where the problem is visible. The workaround is to join "/someName.app" as a destination folder postfix. But this is not logical too much because user types the file name to the folder name or let's say 'location' textfield.

Fixed. Now the component can decide whether it wants its path corrected automatically. E.g. netbeans sets this flag to true, which results in it's default installation directory being set to ${home}/${display-name}.app, and whenever you choose something vis fileshooser, ${display-name}.app will be appended. This is not very consistent, but IMO meets the expectations.
