The problem you've described sounds very much like what happens after creating a bundled application with AppBundler in Tiger. Making a copy of such a bundle, or even chaning its name in the Finder fixes the problem -- gives the application back its icon in the Finder. Do either of those help in your case?

I'm not sure this is the right arena for this query, since this is a problem which RB 2006 Release 3 (haven't started to use 4 yet) has itself, but anyway... My installer needs to copy Mac OS X "applications," i.e. the application "bundle", Contents, PkgInfo, resources, and all. I long ago wrote some apparently reliable code to do this by recursively descending the directory tree and copying all the subdirectories and files... and, yes, it preserves file modes and owners, and even handles aliases and symbolic links. It "works" in the sense that the copied applications are functional, and that I cannot detect any differences between the copy and the original when I perform e.g. ls -l on them. However, there is an intermittent problem with the copies. I cannot reliably cause it to happen, but the characteristics are predictable. The quick description is that the application is functional but displays with a generic icon. --The application displays with a generic application icon instead of the proper icon (even though in the Finder, viewing the actual executable in Contents/MacOS shows the proper icon).
