Subject: installation script problem
I'm having some trouble with an installation script. In version 2.5.4
of the Program Menu, I want to replace the "Statistical Modes Help" file
with a folder of the same name, along with a "Statistical Modes Help.tcl"
file.
It's not possible to replace a file with a folder in the MacOS. To get
around that, I'm including this in the script:
# Remove the old Statistical Modes Help file. Necessary to avoid throwing
# an error when trying to replace a file with a folder.
if {[file isfile [file join $HOME Help "Statistical Modes Help"]]} {
file delete [file join $HOME Help "Statistical Modes Help"]
}
Not exactly kosher, perhap, but it works.
The install proc chokes, however, when it comes to actually installing
the folder, and I can't figure out why. In the installation hierarchy,
the "Statistical Modes Help" folder is located in a "Help" folder.
Any ideas?
