I'm trying to distribute an installer within my own application bundle
in the resources directory and run it from my application. When I try
to run it from the debugger I get the error "launch path not
accessible". However, if I then use the terminal to run the command
by hand using the same path it works.
Anyone have any idea why it fails to run it from the application?
Code in my application:
NSTask* task = [[NSTask alloc] init];
NSString* path = [[NSBundle mainBundle]
pathForResource:@"FTDIUSBSerialDriver" ofType:@"pkg"];
NSLog(path);
[task setArguments: [NSArray arrayWithObjects: @"/usr/bin/open", path,
nil]];
[task launch];
Output from the debugger when it fails:
