Do you mean AppleScript as an installer?
I could go on about the lack of security in running unknown scripts (and
the bad habits it encourages), or how I know of few to no successful
AppleScript-driven installers on MacOSX.
But I'd rather just say that AppleScript is a real pain to program with. Ick.
However, on the other hand, I have kicked around the idea of Folder
Actions (with AppleScript most likely) allowing for a nice drag-and-drop
install of externals. (Drag a folder onto /Library/Pd, and it moves the
folder into AdditionalDocumentation, the externals/libraries/abstractions
into Externals, and help patches into Help.) That, however, would require
a strong, top-down convention for marking the locations and destinations
of the externals and help patches.
Cheers,
adam
