Greetings, we have an application that is created on a PC, it burns PDF files (with a viewer) to CD, these are then sent to PC and Mac users. All PC users can view the CD no problem, on 50 percent of the Mac machines the application works perfect, on the remaining 50 percent, the user receives the following error - The JAVA JAE file "DVDPDFViewer.jar" could not be launched. The program was written to work on OS X.4 and newer, all machines tested are running the same version of OS and Java.
The work around for this appears to be opening a terminal window on the Mac, running a three line script, then launching the application again.
So, the problem I now have is that I write the script (.app) on the Mac, and it executes and runs fine, I copy it to a PC for burning onto a CD with all of the other documents from the program and when I launch it on a Mac from the CD, it does not work. I assume that when I copied it to the PC from the Mac (thumb drive, e-mail and .zip have been tried)that the .app file is losing something, perhaps attributes, in the translation. Does anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this?
Thanks,
Mark
