OK great, thank you. That worked. So now I can install my app successfully
inside the /Applications folder and not get permission errors or crashes.

Next problem - it won't save the location of the 4D Data file between
installations. The first time I launch, I show it where the data file is
located, and that works until I install an upgrade.

As soon as I do that, it's asking for the 4D data file location again.

The preference file for the app (~/Library/4d.com.<appname>.app.plist) shows
the correct path for the data file, so it's definitely been saved in the
preferences file. But the newly installed app seems to ignore the existing
preference file.

The following tech tip refers to a new feature in v15 which lets you store
the data file location in the preference file:

but this refers to a preference setting (Use new architecture for
application deployments) which I don't see in my database settings.

However, the fact that it is saving the path in the preference file suggests
that it is using the new architecture anyway. The problem is that it forgets
about it when the upgrade is performed.

I'm running 15.5 on Mac OS 10.13.2

Determined to get this licked, hope someone can help.

Thanks

James
