Ok.. I don't think I'm going to be able to do it via installing directly from a share, but what if I was to have it copy and create a folder and drop the file locally?

Code:

mount volume "smb://xx.xx.xxx.12/public/Printers"
tell application "Finder"
	duplicate every file of "Printers" to folder "resources" of home
end tell

However, I continue to get a "Can't ever every file from Printers" Error - There's only 1 file in that folder.

This script does connect to that share though. I'm thinking if I can run this as a two part script?

Thanks.
