Thank you guys for answer, but the problem still remains for me > 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 > Rajendran P
I'm sorry for asking such a primitive question but could you point me how can that be done? How can i schedule a script to be executed after my process is terminated? AppleScript call like [[[[NSAppleScript alloc] initWithSource:@"tell finder to delete something"] executeAndReturnError:nil]; [NSApp terminate]; can't do the job, because that -executeAndReturnError doesn't return unless the launched script has returned. It looks like a deadlock - the script should wait for my app to terminate, while my app is waiting for script to terminate Should i write an another *.plist to "program" launchd to execute a script? What will it look like then? (by the way, is there a way to make launchd execute some script without writing and saving a plist to disk?) Or what is the right way? What did you mean? And, deleting my bundle requires Administrator privileges, which my adhoc uninstaller doesn't have. Should i provide some kind of form to ask for username and password then, like it is done in PackageMaker/Installer? Or maybe the system provides some interface/API for displaying that window? How can i escalate my uninstaller privilege to be able to delete its own bundle, and its stuff, that Installer has placed to ~/Library/Application Support/MyApplication? Angus, about >Have you considered just killing the background process and then automatically >moving your app to the trash before quitting? i do kill the daemon, and delete its plist, but how can i delete my own bundle? the system just doesn't let me, i think because Uninstaller is an Application from MyBundle.app/Contents/MacOS. Any other launched binary (for example that background daemon) can be deleted together with its bundle, but not an Application - it seems to be protected by Finder or something Thanks again! _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
