The installation is very simple, I simply tell the finder to duplicate our product folder from inside the installer apps package to Photoshop's plug-ins folder, which has been chosen by the user using folder select.
Some users (a small percentage) have been reporting a -10006 error in this form:
-- Finder got an error: Cant set folder "OSX:Applications:Adobe Photoshop CS3:Plug-Ins" to folder "Installer Disk:Installer.app:Contents:Product Folder". (-10006)
The code in applescript is pretty straightforward:
tell application finder
duplicate (folder (myPath as string)) to (folder (destPath as string))
end tell
I can't duplicate the error on any machine here. At first I thought it might be a permissions issue, but when I try to create that situation I get a different, permissions-specific error.
The source folder is on a non-writable compressed disk image.
Any ideas? You're not addressing the Finder correctly. It should be:
tell application "Finder"
I suggest to use a 'try' block in the script and use aliases for both the source and destination file system objects.
You might want to try using 'ditto' in a 'do shell script' call as a means of getting a different error readout.
