Location: Seattle, WA                I have a couple of great tools (Blue 
Intelligence's gate... !) and I have my app ready. The Windows version works 
great using the INNO Setup installer -- it grabs support files and user data 
files and properly sets them up as expected. OS X? Well, there apparently isn't 
any installer and I guess the way it has been explained to me is that the app 
must determine the support files don't exist and install them from the package.

Has anyone done this (does RealStudio have any services)? Help!

thank you,
Ken

X, they are just not common. PackageMaker is included with Xcode. I generally 
prefer IceBerg when I need OS X installers.

To extract stuff from the bundle, just use Application.ExecutableFile and the 
navigate from that to the Resources folder. Once you have the FolderItem for 
the files, use CopyFile to copy it out to where you want it.
