Thanks, but I only got more confused. I am not an XCode developer, just a lowly Filemaker Developer.

Using Terminal I found that using this command:

ln -s /Applications/Compass_4.0.13/Compass.app ~/Desktop/Start_Compass

does exactly what I want.

Problem is, I don't know how to make that happen as a script called by the installer.

Any thoughts?

. It's not an alias but a symbolic link. Symbolic links are cheap aliases.


. If you want to go this way, you would need to add a postflight script that would look like this:

#!/bin/sh

/bin/ln -s $3/Applications/Compass_4.0.13/Compass.app $USER/Desktop/ Start_Compass

exit 0
