HI , launch an applescript / shell script when uninstall button is clicked . This should first quit the App and wait for it to terminate and then delete the bundle and plist
Thanks Rajendran P On 10/27/10 5:46 PM, "eveningnick eveningnick" <eveningn...@gmail.com> wrote: Hello I have an application that creats, when installed, a bundle in "Applications" and registers a .plist file for launchd in ~/Library/LaunchAgents (the agent is located in that bundle, and its process is launched everytime the OS starts). Thus, i can't let a user just to move bundle to the Trash bin, when he wants to get rid of it. Thats why, in a "control panel" of my application, i placed a button "Uninstall", which 1) stops the Agent 2) deletes the plist file 3) [should delete the bundle] This control panel is located in this bundle, that has to be deleted. And in Mac OS 10.6 a bundle whose application is running can't be deleted. What could i do here to delete the bundle? What is usually done in such cases? o) After "uninstalling", ask user to manually move bundle to a trash bin, and then terminate control panel application? Seems pathetic, especially when user already pressed "Uninstall". o) Copy a "bundle-deleting script" to the "autorun once", that will launch next time with the next system boot? It seems like a good idea, but could it be done somehow without leaving traces afterwards? o) Copy to some "autocleanined" (like temp or something) folder a script, launch it and terminate control application. That script will wait, till the control app is terminated , and then remove the bundle. But does such a folder exist in MacOS? and how could it possibly be done? I don't want to rubbish the user's Mac, if he/she doesn't like my App :) Thanks! _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
