As I said, there's no particular trick for deleting the uninstaller. The filesystem won't stop you from deleting your own binary (or moving it to the trash.) I've seen uninstallers in the form of AppleScripts. They're easy to package up in double-clickable form and they can easily tell the Finder to move things to the trash. —Jens_______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
