Klaus,

no problem.

You probably mean stage (not state). I wrote that already---it
doesn't work here. In my current tests nothing works any more,
neither stage="postinstall" nor stage="uninstall" nor the
default (no stage attribute). No program file is ever executed.
I believe this is since version 3.9.0. I can't be sure if I'm
doing something wrong, but I can't find it.

IzPack shows no error or warning. The files are just not
executed.

Can you show me a sample of the relevant <executable ...> line?
Perhaps something changed between versions and the documentation
wasn't updated?
