Mark, there are a few things wrong with your advice. 1) Don't invoke a shell unless you need to. Doing so introduces far too many variables to be useful for the simple purpose of launching another executable. 2) The first argument to a program needs to be the name of the program. For example, when you run `ls` from a shell, the shell sets argv[0] to "ls". If you were to run `/bin/ls`, argv[0] would instead be "/bin/ls". 3) Why all this trouble of launching executables? There's a reason Launch Services is a public framework; use that. Don't use -[NSWorkspace openFile:], because that's not guaranteed to open the package in Installer.app. Instead, use LSOpenURLsWithRole: http://developer.apple.com/DOCUMENTATION/Carbon/Reference/LaunchServicesReference/Reference/reference.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP30000998-CH1g-TPXREF104
