Little addup:
I think that you must have admin permissions too...

Hello,
With OS X, apps are folders (bundle)
Use revDeleteFolder (delete folder deletes only empty folders).
Here with 10.4.1:
on mouseUp
answer file "" -- select any duplicated app bundle
revdeletefolder it
put the result
end mouseUp
Works perfectly :-)
Best regards from Paris,

I am about to distribute to a bunch of academics a software device
that I fear they won't install properly (it has to be in a folder).
I've modified the application so that the first time it launches,
it will in essence re-install itself (by downloading and launching
a separate stack that copies the application to its own folder and
create its support files). The application closes itself,
initiates an ancillary stack that creates the folder, copies the
app to it, creates the support files, launches the properly sited
app, and then hides itself (it will close when the app next closes).
This means that the original app, which will be in the default
download location, must disappear after the auxiliary stack has
created and launched the new copy of the application.
Unfortunately, all this works extremely well except the last
step. I can't get the ancillary stack to delete the original
application. Every variation (delete, delete file, delete folder,
delete URL, using or not using the ".app" suffix for the app
file), brings up the result "can't delete that file." I have
checked carefully to make sure all paths are correct.
There's some missing element I'm not understanding. The file to
be deleted is a Revolution-created app. Is OS 10.4.1 nevertheless
refusing me permission to delete it (the info screen does not say
so)? Can only documents be deleted, and not executables (aren't
they just documents?)?
I thought of using Applescript to get this done, but I it looks
like I have to specify a location in the script for the original,
instead of carrying over some kind of defaultfolder from the
Revolution script. I don't think it will be suitable. Is there
any way delete an app from Revolution? Or, can I just make it
disappear by some other means?
