launch application in 'Downloads' Folder

[tomp]

I am trying to use an FM10 runtime to launch an application from the MAC 'Downloads' folder using the 'Perform AppleScript' script step and the 'Calculated' option.

When executed, I get an error message "Access Not Allowed".

How can I get around this?

TIA

Is the "Access Not Allowed" message an OS level message?

It could be that the runtime process does not have the read/write privileges to the downloads folder. The runtime is trying to access the folder as a "user" but the folder only allows the current user or root to read/write.

Try temporarily changing the privileges to the Downloads folder to "everyone" (group) Read&Write.

Does this change anything?
