hello again
>From what i understood till now, i have written some Applescript (my first)
to do the uninstall.
My approach here is-
1. I have two Application Bundles (created from Script Editor)-
Uninstall.app and DeleteAll.app
2. Delete.app resides inside the "Resources" of Uninstall.app.
3. When we double click Uninstall.app it fires a script(given below),
4. This script copies DeleteAll.app to /private/tmp/ AND then runs
DeleteAll.app from Temp location.
The Script is
===========
on run
set tempPath to "/private/tmp/fromTemp.app" as string
set pathToMe to (path to me)
set pathpath to my GetParentPath(pathToMe)
set ourPath to POSIX path of pathpath as string
set ourPath to ourPath & "fromTemp.app" as string
do shell script "sudo cp -R '" & ourPath & "' '" & tempPath & "'" with
administrator privileges
do shell script "sleep 10;
/private/tmp/fromTemp.app/Contents/MacOS/applet; >/dev/null 2>&1 &" with
administrator privileges
end run
on GetParentPath(theFile)
tell application "Finder" to return container of theFile as text
end GetParentPath
==========
Here I am expecting, that Uninstall.app will be closed after it has copied
and launched DeleteAll.app.
But it is waiting for DeleteAll to complete, and it exits after that.
Also DeleteAll.app is deleting MyApp + UninstallApp.
And DeleteAll will be removed at the next system restart (as it is in temp)
What i want to ask now is
1. Is this approach correct.
2. How i can exit from Uninstaller.app before the start of Deleteall.app
Any other suggestions/insights ???
Lots of thanks.
