- Thread-topic: applescript & installer behavior
> Debugging isn't on. I'm actually not even using Script DeBugger. I'm entering
the script in a text field within my installer builder. I build my installer,
and when I run it, Script Debugger opens in debug mode, paused at the first line
of my script. I transferred my installer to another machine that does not have
Script Debugger and it ran successfully without interruption. So my installer is
working, but why the issues on the origination machine? Why does Script DeBugger
even get involved?
Well I'm confused. At this point, I can only guess.
FWIW, my guess is that your mac is set to open scripts in Script Debugger,
or the installer is using the same file/creator/extension that Script
Debugger uses, and your installer calls the script in a funny way. (If it's
an option, try saving the script as an applet.)
Either that or you've uncovered some undocumented (or poorly documented)
link between your installer and Script Debugger.
You may want to ask Mark Aldritt at Late Night Software if he can explain
what's going on.
Good luck!
