circumventing the "where is" dialog


  • Subject: circumventing the "where is" dialog

Hi all-

I'm interested to know if there is anyone who has ever tried to test for the existence of an application before the "Where is.. application" dialog appears. Example. A script needs FileMaker Pro but it's not installed on a users machine. Instead of the script asking "Where is FileMaker?" I would like to query the machine to see if FileMaker is in the Desktop DB of the machine and if it's not there I want to provide an error message telling the user so. I'm not sure this is possible though. Any ideas?

Thanks

-John
