Did you try a loop that checks to see if it's ready before exiting the loop?
Put a reasonable amount of time as a background delay in each loop say a second or two, and set a limiting counter on the number of loops before bailing out.

I have a script that checks for a scripting addition, then if not available, it moves it into the scripting additions folder. I do this with two different scripting additions that I use. Neither osax requires a reboot.

However it seems that one of them will fail now and then. It's as if it isn't quite ready yet? Is there a way I can call it or hit it with the finder, try, open, ?? and snap it into being useable. Does anyone have any ideas for that... TIA
