All, I identified the problem and a workaround. In the CFM Support folder, the Stuffit Expander 10.0.2 installer is overwriting/replacing the StuffitEngineShell.cfm file (v. 8.0.2 that was previously installed with Aladdin's iClean 6.0.1 installer) with an empty folder by the same name. As a workaround, I copied iClean's StuffitEngineShell.cfm file to the desktop, installed Stuffit Expander, and then replaced the StuffitEngineShell.cfm folder with the StuffitEngineShell.cfm file in the CFM Support folder. That seemed to do the trick. Now that I have it working properly, I'm wondering if I shouldn't either just .zip folders via the "Create Archive of..." in the File menu (as Lars suggested) or use Barry's "Attach Zip" script. Pros/cons? Thanks again for all of the troubleshooting contributions. Gene
