Re: How do I read pref files for other Apps

Well it is not my Quoting style. Mail seems to be doing this for some reason. I have no idea why.

Well I have no idea if the Pref file is maintained by CFPreferences. The thing is the Pref file is created by the installer, they put the SN and other info in there and then, I don;t think they do anything else with it. The apps that it installs are supposed to check to see if the package was installed. to do that we need to check for the SN.

I would love to do this with other Core foundation API's, but I don't know how. That is why I posted this message. I need to look for a key and then i need to save that value off into my own preference file.

Thanks,
Scott Mitchell
