I have a universal application that I have compiled using Xcode 2.2. I

Some of my customers will need to run the PowerPC code on Intel since
some of our plug-ins can not be compiled for Intel (because
third-parties have not provided Intel libraries or frameworks - e.g.,
National Instruments, Microsoft).
So I tried to force the PowerPC code to run on Intel by checking the
Open Using Rosetta checkbox in the Finder. However, the Intel code
still runs. This is true even if I restart the machine and launch the
application from the Finder.
After setting the LSPrefersPPC key in Info.plist to true, which is
supposed to make it prefer PowerPC, it still runs the Intel code.
If I compile for PowerPC only, it runs under fine Rosetta.
I could not find any mention of problems with "Open Using Rosetta".
Does anyone have any clues?
The behavior you're describing is what I'd expect to see if the
executable file in your application package was built for Intel
only...except that you say it runs on PowerPC systems. Is there
anything unusual about your application? What does 'file
/path/to/that/executable' return?
