I repackaged your zip and put the theme into a "themes" folder. The CopyPath might not like the space in the name, or it could have been the zip file. The install and uninstall worked for me.

Ok Thanks! It must of been the zip because I also tried putting it into a themes folder and removed the space in the name. I tried creating the zip with windows xp and winrar. The fist zips I made worked fine with windows xp's built in utility, but those were just zipped files and now I am doing zipped folders

Do I need to put a date on the xml for it? or do i just change the version number and installer will know that there is an update?

You need to put a date on it or it won't show up in the Recent Uploads category.

Also a good idea to put the hash in, as Greg said once, there's a good chance Nullriver will make that a requirement in the future...

I dont think stuffit works for windows... I may have to put all of this off until I get my macbook pro

[LimitedEditioniPhone_com]

Well, it looks like my little question took on a life of it's own.

I'm now trying to write an installer that simply changes the SpringBoard icon for an already-installed app; I want it to backup the existing icon (probably re-name it), then apply the new one. Obviously uninstall would delete the new icon and rename the old one back. Can't find any examples though, but I know I've seen some out there...

trig what are you using to make the zips? I dont think you can make zips that contain folders on windows. The zip files have been giving me all the trouble.

[trig1987]

Does anyone have a guide on how to make a repository. I already made a source.

[LimitedEditioniPhone_com]

how can I set file permissions on windows so that when I zip it it will retain the 0755. My embark file's permission was changed using winscp. When I transfer it over to the computer it no longer has the permissions.

[Lan05]

Yea is there a detailed guide on making your own installer source & repository? I've looked everywhere but no luck =\

Thanks.
