What I'm trying to do is that when the user runs the App from outside the Applications folder, a display alert appears asking if he wants to move the App to the Applications folder if the App is not already there. I tried the following:
tell application (path to frontmost application as text)
set myApp to path of document 1
set folderApplications to "/Applications" as POSIX file
set anyApp to "/Applications/My.app" as POSIX file
tell application "Finder"
if exists anyApp then
display alert "There is already an App with the same name in Applications Folder.
return
else
tell application "System Events"
move myApp to folderApplications
end tell
end if
end tell
end tell
ERROR: Can’t get «class FTPc» of document 1. (error -1728)
Something like this may work for you. The code must first be saved as an application named "myApp.app", for this to function correctly.
property myName : "myApp.app"
set folderApplications to path to applications folder as text
set pathToMe to path to me as text
tell application "Finder"
set appExists to exists of alias (folderApplications & myName)
end tell
if not appExists then
beep 3
set moveApp to button returned of (display dialog ¬
"Would You Like To Move This App To The Applications Folder?" buttons {"No", "Yes"} ¬
default button 2 ¬
with title "Move This App?")
if moveApp is "Yes" then
tell application "Finder"
move alias pathToMe ¬
to alias folderApplications
end tell
end if
end if
-- the rest of your code
