Hi Jan, I have created two different modes in my updater 1. complete bundle.app (works) 2. single file (stack, external,...) within a bundle For the second option I was looking for a copy/replace file of asingle resource file, not the entire resource fork. Thats why I was looking at copyResource() and the resource type. For your approach I would need a binfile and a resfile, what I wanted to avoid. Coming from Windows resource forks are suspicious :). Actually I don't even know exactly what a resource fork is... Or is it not possible at all to replace an existing file in a bundle without changing the resource fork? Thanks for any claryfing Tiemo
