Apple's doc's specifically say to stay away from using the "CString" routines which require encodings. So now the encoding issue goes away. The problem is LSOpenApplication() does not like the FSRef I pass it which gets created from the path NSString- >CFURL->FSRef.

They state the opposite. They say to stay away from the ones which do NOT require encodings. That's because the ones without encodings use the "system encoding" which is not guaranteed to be anything useful. The ones with encodings require you to specify them yourself and are therefore just fine.

And to add a word about your LS issue, it's because to launch an app, you should create a ref on the bundle, not on the executable.
