Hi,
I have an installer that works very well as long as I have 'Include
Root in Package' enabled. When I disable it, the Icons for the app-
lication bundle don't show up until the user reboots.
The reason seems that PackageMaker creates the root folder (instead of
unpacking it), and therefore the folder lacks attributes?!
Using 'SetFile -a C /Applications/Folder.app' from a postinstall-
script,
I can make the Icons appear. However, SetFile is not available on the
users machines.
Whats the right tool to use on a users machine to set folder
attributes?
It's pretty easy to write one, you only need to play with the
FSCatalogInfo data.
You can get a good starting with the code available at this URL:
