I have run into permissions problems before when copying. For example, if you
run the app under a
non-admin account, they won't be able to alter the applications folder.
I would think the FolderItem.LastError code would provide some useful feedback
on this. I don't
have time to check it at the moment though.
Maybe I miss-read you but... I have to wonder why you would be installing the
program by manually
moving all the files in the .app package? Simply copying the app package will
copy all of the
contents. As I recall; I have had no problems in just using a f.MoveFileTo on a
running
application's package.
Hope that helps.
