AppleScript Error on launch - throost

This error seems to occur if the account name of the user is "admin". I haven't yet been able to determine exactly why.

My username is *not* admin, yet I get the exact same error message. I'm still running 10.4.3 so the problem isn't limited to just those on 10.4.5.

One thing that may be different for me than for some is that I have placed your application in a directory on another partition. The particular folder name is "CD/DVD..". So perhaps there is some problem in the script when either the application isn't in the normal Applications folder or if it's in a folder whose name itself contains a slash?

If 1.5.6 doesn't fix it, please email me. Thanks.

AppleScript does indeed have issues with characters that it shouldn't have issues with. However, in this case, you are using a forward slash character in a directory name! The OS should NEVER, EVER allow you to use such a character (it's illegal in a filename in Unix). This should have been dealt with back in 1.0 and it's still around to this day! Lame.
