Deploy compiled AppleScript not work

  • Thread-topic: Deploy compiled AppleScript not work

Dear List,

 

Is it a usual case that a compiled run-only AppleScript can be only run on the same system where it is compiled?

 

My test script is as simple as the following:

----------------------------------

tell application “Microsoft Word”

            ……

end tell

-----------------------------------

It was compiled into a *.scpt file, and the *.scpt worked well.

 

For whatever a reason, I erased my HD and completely reinstalled the same system on the same computer. When I tried again to run the same *scpt, it keeps asking me where is the application “Microsoft Word”, until I recompile the original AppleScript text source (without any change), and the new *.scpt file works again. I guess that the line ‘tell application “Microsoft Word”’ is somehow hard-coded during the compilation process into a *.scpt file. If so, how can I deploy a run-only *.scpt file which will be used on different computers?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Chen
