As you can see there are many ways to solve a task, in my opinion is more easy this one
tell application "Finder"
set MyFile to alias "Lipstick:Users:g5:Desktop:HelveticaNeu.zip"
set oldTID to AppleScript's text item delimiters
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {"."}
set NameNoExtension to text item 1 of (get name of MyFile)
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to oldTID
end tell
The problem with that is that a file's name may have more than one period in it. So instead of "text item 1 of ...", use "(text items 1 through -2 of ...) as text"

Well you're right, I never consider that possibility because I think that in not a good idea to use a period into the name of a file, but that doesn’t means that you can’t, so your approach is good enough to solve that point. Thanks
