Trouble copying .app file to the /Applications directory
I am fairly certain I have done this at least 50 times, but it appears I must be messing something up.
I have a .app file that is uploaded to my kbox as modo_701.zip which contains modo_701.app
I would like the kbox to extract the .zip file and place it in the /Applications directory.
So I created a distro that is set using the following:
* Install command = use default
* run parameters: ditto -rsrc "modo_701.app" "/Applications/modo_701.app"
* Delete downloaded files: is checked
What happens is that the file gets downloaded to the clients in /Library/Application Support/Dell/KACE/data/downloads/21716/
and extracted into the same directory. The file never gets copied over to /Applications or deleted. The distro also indicates the software package is installed.
This is how we normally do it. Any suggestions?

Ok reworked it so the file is a .dmg and not a .zip. Now the files is installed into the correct place but the .dmg located within the /Library/Application Support/Dell/Kace/data/downloads/21777 folder does not get deleted. - Jbr32 10 years ago

I want to say that's a bug that will be fixed in 5.5. If it's something you need to delete, use a smart label to target machines that have the app installed. Then use that label in a script that deletes the installer. - jknox 10 years ago
