RE: Deploy compiled AppleScript not work



Hi Gary, I've tested the code with success on one system and failure on
the other. In the successful case, I used "MSWD" as application file id,
it works well. But on the second system, no matter what I feed to the
application file id, it gives me the same error message:
"Finder got an error: An error of type -10814 has occurred."

However, I think the work around code is reasonable because it attempts
to answer the similar question in Carbon world about multiple id strings
(name or file name) retrievable from the same Process Serial Number.

Thanks.

>Hi Chen,
>If you are trying to run scripts with the application installed in 
different places you can get around it like so:

>OS9 way:

    try
        tell application "Finder"
            set appName to name of application file id "MSIE"
        end tell
    on error errMsg
        display dialog (errMsg) as string
    end try
 
 Then you can ref that application like:

     tell appName
          // do something
     end tell

And if you add a

on run

end run

>around the code you don't even need to compile it... just save as text 
and do something like

>run script file (filename)
