You've probably got the new security update installed on one but not
the other. Processes with "unusual" credentials (basically, if
issetugid(2) returns true) are no longer allowed to receive scripting
addition commands.

I’ve got two machines running 10.5.4 – both Intel – one a MacPro,

tell app “Installer”

fails, event log shows this:
tell application "Installer"
launch
current application
display dialog "Fred"
«event ascrgdut»
display dialog "Fred"
"Installer got an error: \"Fred\"
doesn’t understand the display dialog message."
On the machine where the script succeeds, there is no ascrgdut
event, and the display dialog line appears only once. If I target
app “System Events”, the both machines succeed, both machines show
an ascrgdut event, and System Events returns {} from the ascrgdut
event on both machines. All relevant pieces of the OS look the same
(i.e. versions of Script Editor, the SystemAdditions.osax, the
Installer app bundle, which the exception that the Installer has two
localized versions of Portuguese resources – pt and pt-PT for the
machine that fails as opposed to just pt for the machine that works.
So the question is: anyone know why the two machines are acting
differently? Any hints on where to look?
