I am making my own bootstrap program whose only purpose is to start up, copy an internal file from within it (in the Resources internal folder) to the computer's Temporary folder, launch it, and then quit to get out of the way.

The purpose is because this will run on a CD, and since it's a multi-CD set, the install-type app that runs must not run from the CD, since at some point the CD has to be removed (and the Mac will not let you remove it if the program is running).

This works on Tiger, but on Panther it doesn't work. It fails on the CopyFileTo method, where when I check the LastErrorCode for the source FolderItem it says "File Not Found" even after I checked the Exist property (which was True).

Perhaps RB in Panther doesn't let you copy packages (which is of course what he app is)?

Any other ideas, or perhaps there is a better way to copy a file from the bootstrap app to the hard drive?
