In other words...
I wanna show some folder after install my application.

I'm trying to write in 'postinstall' script (in AppleScript) like
bellow.....

--[postinstall]---------
osascript -e 'tell app "Finder" to quit'
osascript -e 'tell app "Finder" to activate'
osascript -e 'tell app "Finder" to open folder "MyFolder" of folder "Applications:Utilities" of startup disk'
.......
------------------------


But sometime fail launch "Finder".(some environment SUCCESS!!)
In error log.....
 execution error: An error of type -10810 has occurred. (-10810)


[question] * What is error code mean? What's Happen? ---> I can't find any answer in apple web site.....

Hi Kazuyoshi,

This error is from LaunchServices (LSInfo.h):

	kLSUnknownErr = -10810, /* Unexpected internal error*/


* Please tell me what is wrong.
* Is there any idea to this problem?

The problem is most likely that you are launching the Finder immediately after quitting it (takes a while for the Finder to quit depending on many factors).


You really don't need AppleScript to show a folder unless it has been opened previously and it needs updating.
So in most circumstances you can probably use:


/usr/bin/open "/path/to/MyFolder"

Maybe something like:

/usr/bin/open "/Applications/Utilities/MyFolder"


[environment infomation when problem occured]
* OS: MacOS X 10.5 (no revision)

I think you should upgrade to at least 10.5.2
