I checked all check boxes of GateKeeper Priviledge control for StuffIt Class in vain. Only when I turned off the GateKeeper with "Override" button, I can get Self-Unstuffing archive. Is there anyone who has the same problem? -- ========================================================================== Masato Ogawa Sony corp. ogawa@sm.sony.co.jp Tokyo, Japan ========================================================================== Unfortunately, this is true of all self-extracting archives, and it's my main complaint against making such archives a standard download format. To work around it, you have three options: (1) Override GateKeeper while uncompacting the archive, (2) grant res(file) privelages to the archive itself, or (3) if you have a copy of UnstuffIt Classic or UnstuffIt Deluxe, open the archive with one of those, instead of by double-clicking it.

To work No, what I said is about making self-extracting archives, not de-archiving. With Compactor 1.21, I have no problem to make self-extracting archive and to de-archive .sea with GateKeeper. What I guess is that for Compactor, real file is made when to "Close".But For StuffIt Classic, "New Archive" creates real file at that time. So to attach "Self-Unstuffing" code is really to attach a code resource to the file like virus does. GateKeeper's message is: GateKeeper has vetoed an attempt by StuffIt Classic to violate "Res(Other)" privileges agains Archive.sit. [ AddResource(DODE, 2) ] So I checked "Other - Res" in GateKeeper's list for StuffIt Classic. But still GateKeeper refused to make self-unstuffing archive. So I checked all check-boxes, but ... Which has the problem, GateKeeper or StuffIt Classic? -- ========================================================================== Masato Ogawa Sony corp. ogawa@sm.sony.co.jp Tokyo, Japan ==========================================================================

To work No, what I said is about making self-extracting archives, not de-archiving. My applologies for misinterpreting your question! With Compactor 1.21, I have no problem to make self-extracting archive and to de-archive .sea with GateKeeper. What I guess is that for Compactor, real file is made when to "Close".But For StuffIt Classic, "New Archive" creates real file at that time.

Which has the problem, GateKeeper or StuffIt Classic? Is it possible that you have a naming problem in GateKeeper? I've had problems before when upgrading to new software because I've turned off GateKeeper's "match beginnings" option, so "StuffIt Classic" in the GateKeeper permission list wouldn't match "StuffIt Classic 1.6"... -- ========================================================================== Masato Ogawa Sony corp. ogawa@sm.sony.co.jp Tokyo, Japan ========================================================================== -- |- Peter E.
