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?
Have you checked if both the original file and destination folder's
exists properties are true? Sometimes we check the exists property of
the source file while the problem comes from the destination folder.
Also, I always thought MoveFileTo didn't work to move a non empty
folder (only a file or an empty folder, like the Delete and
CopyFileTo methods). I wonder if that means you can't do this in
Panther while you may do it in Tiger. If that's the problem, then you
have to copy every item (starting with folders and then with files).
I seem to recall that I had this problem of not being able to copy
folders directly.
Just 2 ideas from experiences._______________________________________________
