That doesn't look at all like a valid Mac application bundle. It should look like this when installed: /Applications/AppABC.app /Applications/AppABC.app/Contents /Applications/AppABC.app/Contents/Info.plist /Applications/AppABC.app/Contents/MacOS /Applications/AppABC.app/Contents/MacOS/AppABC /Applications/AppABC.app/Contents/PkgInfo /Applications/AppABC.app/Contents/Resources /Applications/AppABC.app/Contents/Resources/config.plist /Applications/AppABC.app/Contents/Resources/ErrorDialog.nib /Applications/AppABC.app/Contents/Resources/AppDATA -- Per Olofsson, IT-service, University of Gothenburg _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.

This is not the file you should create an alias for if it's a valid application bundle. The alias should be on the AppABC "folder".
