I hope this is the right forum to post my question. It's a bit "in-between".
I am about to write an updater for a programme of mine. The updater downloads an update-file from my server that has packed all files I want to replace and executes a simple script.
Now all works file apart from the executable (programme.app/Contents/MacOS/programme), that MacOS doesn't accept as a binary file: it says its plain text.
What can I do in this case? How can I set the type of that file so that it becomes a normal executable? (How) Can I use the programme /Developer/Tools/SetFileType?
Thanks indeed. I guess that couldt had been the problem. In the net I've seen a solution that uses SetFile, but it seems to be enough to simpy set the permission to +x.
