how to change folder attributes from postinstall (missing SetFile?)
site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: installer-dev@lists.apple.com User-agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.17 (Macintosh/20080914) 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? What would be portable (and work on Tiger, Leopard, SnowLeopard)? Or am I doing something completely wrong here? Cheers, Mario BTW: I found similar discussions on this list, but all without satis- factory results. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
