I'm working on an application that installs other apps using the Apple command line installer. During a recent test, a strange thing occurred and I'm wondering if it's something I'm doing wrong or if it's a bug, etc. The application being installed was a PowerPC-only, Carbon, Mach-O, bundled app built in CodeWarrior. The installer package was very simple, just installing that one app into /Applications. After installation (on an iMac Core Duo), the app was displayed with the circle-slash overlay, like an older-style app on an Intel Mac or an Intel-only app on a PowerPC Mac. The Finder refused to launch it, but it launched OK from the command-line. Option-dragging it to another folder resulted in a working copy with no circle-slash overlay. Since it was a normal app, and the installer package was built using PackageMaker and it was installed using Apple's installer, I can't think of anything I could be doing wrong, except perhaps something about the permissions might be off. Maybe the Finder looked at the app too soon, didn't think it looked like a runnable app, and set a flag somewhere? (The symptom persisted across logout/login and reboot.)
