Hi Jacque, thanks for your comments. That is funny, because I am using Mark Schonewilles Installer Maker since years without any problems and also with this product it installs my LC prog as expected on all of my clients Macs from OS X 10.5 to 10.10. This is the only one (on 10.9.5), where this phenomenon happened, so I think there must be something being messed up on the machine. Tiemo

It is part of the Mac OS sandboxing, which prevents software from writing files to locations outside of its own folders. This prevents malware from writing to disk in areas it does not control. Except for certain drivers and extensions, OS X does not use installers, and users do not expect one. The user simply drags the app bundle to the applications folder. You can zip the app if you like, and the user can unzip it and drag it into the folder. Or commonly apps ship in dmg files (a virtual device image.) These are easy to create with various Mac utilities such as Drop DMG. Most users are familiar with dmg files. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
