How detect if an application fails to launch

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi Jason,

Check first if the file/folder does exists :-)

switch
   case IsOSX() -- then apps are folders
     if there is a folder <complete path to app> then launch  
<complete path to app>
     else AnswerErr "App not found." -- custom handler
   break
   default-- then apps are files
     if there is a file <complete path to app> then launch <complete  
path to app>
     else AnswerErr "App not found." -- custom handler
end switch
-------------------------------------
function IsOSX
   set the itemDelimiter to "."
   if the platform = "MacOS" and item 1 of the systemVersion >= 10
   then return true
   return false
end IsOSX

Best Regards from Paris,
Eric Chatonet
