Programmatically changing "Open using Rosetta" flag


  • Subject: Programmatically changing "Open using Rosetta" flag

Dear all,

we've got software released (using ".pkg" files / Apple's installer) which is contains Universal Binaries and is capable of running natively on i386 Macs.
On the other hand, due to the fact that third-party software isn't available as Universal binary yet, some users have been forced to change one of our installed components to "Open using Rosetta" manually.


This constraint will be removed within the near future, then this specific component has be set to always run natively.

Therefore, I'd like to include a script / application which is called by our installer package's postflight script and programmatically disables the specific component's "Open using Rosetta" flag, just in case it had been changed by the user in the first place.


Is there an officially supported / recommended way to accomplish this?
Probably an AppleEvent sent to the Finder?
Preferably a command line tool to be called from within a shell script?
Should I post this question to another mailing-list (Carbon-Dev / Cocoa-Dev / ...)?



Thanks for comments, Dirk Stegemann
