Error on OS X 10.5 "Invalid parameter not satisfying: windownibpath"

Asked by Adonis D.

I get the error "Invalid parameter not satisfying: windownibpath" when running my app in OS X 10.5 but in 10.6, everything works fine. I even tried the sample program included in the andymatuschak-Sparkle-f1a3538.zip and got the same error.

Here is the console log whenever I run the sample app.

When I've seen this before, it's been because of a broken extraction or download: does SUUpdatePermissionPrompt.nib exist in the localization directories? What are its contents?

Sorry to bother you Andy. You are right. It seems that sending the app through LAN messes the content of the app. I decided to compress my app first before sending it through LAN. That solved the problem. When I checked the code, I saw that it looks for the shortcut "Resources" found in myapp.app/Contents/Frameworks/Sparkle.framework/. That shortcut was missing after sending it through LAN and causes the error message.

Thank You very much Andy!
