Check if app exists


  • Subject: Check if app exists
  • From: Jeremy Matthews <email@hidden>

I have the following basic code:

tell application "Finder"
if application "GrowlHelperApp" exists then
set growlexists to "true"
end if
end tell

If the app DOESN'T exist...then it continually prompts you to find/choose the application. Is there a way to gain silent approval or failure of this possibility without getting that prompt?

Thanks,
j
