So far as I know, it could be perl, shell, applescript or application. If I'm breaking the rules so to speak I'm not aware of it and besides that, it just works and works well. I don't ever run as root when I'm programming (except through Terminal). This way I don't get surprised, especially with scripts that want some kind of authentication (they will automatically ask for it if the user is not admin level or above). HTH. I thought that any script that the installer runs has to be a perl or shell script. can it be an applescript application/application bundle? if that is the case perhaps this will work however i am running as root (could be my big problem) I have no trouble creating aliases on Tiger. The one I use is much different from what you have here. This is what I use. This particular one creates an alias of a folder XYZ Folder from Macintosh HD/Users/Shared to Applications. If the alias is a file, just change "If exists folder" to "If exists file". This script works perfect for me. I save it as an application with the name "postflight". HTH.
