Well, so, now everybody knows....
Your ideas should work, I guess. The time it takes me to figure out how to
implement them comes out of your share.
But a certain private communication from a certain person we all know, whose
initials might be "JR", suggests that there is no way the "master"
application inside the "setup" application's bundle could every be executed
inadvertently, anyway. At least not by the Finder. Does anybody know
different?
For example, how exactly does an AppleScript 'tell' statement launch an
application? The "master" application in my scenario is actually a
scriptable faceless background application in the guise of a scripting
addition, so it will constantly be confronted with AppleScript 'tell'
statements. I want to be sure they will always launch the copy in the
ScriptingAdditions folder (which is where the "setup" application will
install it), not the original "master" inside the "setup" application's
bundle.
