Actually I believe the problem is not with Meeting Maker but with who they use to package the installer, ZeroG.
We ran in to a similar problem where the installer would launch and then just quit.
No matter what we did, we couldn't get it to launch and this only happened on ONE Mac with OS X.3. Searched the ZeroG forums and found a section where Meeting maker complained about the same problem and ZeroG did not offer any help.
The posted solution that they found the only thing that could fix it was to reinstall the whole OS.
Instead of doing such a radical solution, we simply copied the meetingmaker folder from Applications on another system. Since Meeting Maker is self contained, it worked like charm. Only problem was if they wanted to use a Palm we would have had to copy over the Palm conduits as well.
Have I hit information overload yet? ;-)
