since no one answered my last thread, what is the basic install script to put an application in the /Appliction directory? i was using this one:

<key>install</key>
				<array>
					<array>
						<string>CopyPath</string>
						<string>MyTestApplication.app</string>
						<string>/Applications</string>
					</array>
				</array>

but it didnt seem to work.
also, my package is in a .zip file, do i need another script to unzip it?
if you could help me with this it would help me out a lot

thanx,
Chase817

CopyPath
MyTestApplication.app
/Applications/MyTestApplication.app

[Chase817]

ok, let me test that out... 1 sec

[jakecigar]

	CopyPath
	MyTestApplication.app
	/Applications/MyTestApplication.app

I can't get the < > right in the post... I hope you get the idea!

[Chase817]

ya i get it, but if you want the < >'s to show up, use the HTML code box.
-------------------------------
when i try it now it says "package download failed"(same as before) do i need to use an unzip script?

installer does all the unzipping for you.
that code assumes the name of the zip file is correct and has a directory structure in it!

<h1> AHA! </h1>

[Chase817]

wait, so theres a special structure inside of the app? i just built it like normal

[jakecigar]

normal macintosh archive works! but you have to have chmod command in the repo xml to make the code run.

get me on IM!

Here's an old one of mine.
