Packages(.app) - open app folder script

  • Thread-topic: Packages(.app) - open app folder script

I'm replacing a MindVision VISE X installer with Packages...

My (ancient) app is installed in a folder in the /Applications directory
(I know, this is not the ideal way) but in any case, it was a simple task
in VISE to specify that the app folder be opened after installation.

I gather that with Packages you would do this via a Post-installation
shell script on the application's package.

I'm not very skilled with shell scripts, can any of you geniuses share how
to find the folder (when you don't know for sure where it might be
installed) and pass the result to the 'open' command?

Thanks,
- Stephen
