Calling an application


  • Subject: Calling an application

Sorry for the basic question, but I never really learned how to do this. I have a script that launches (or tries to launch) Apple Software Restore. If I just write:

tell application "Apple Software Restore"

it would prompt me to locate it, so I wrote:

tell application "ASR:ASR:Apple Software Restore"

where ASR is the name of the disk, and a folder at the root of the harddrive which contains the app.

There are still about 10% of the machines that this script is running on that cannot find it without somebody pointing to it manually. Why does this happen, and what is the proper way to get around this?

Thanks for any advice.
