Reading/Writing plist file for osx
I want to read / write some configuration values for osx. For my windows installer, it was easy with registryGet / registrySet. For osx, plist being the alternative, is there any equivalent for registryGet/registrySet for osx in BitRock? Otherwise, I have to go for writing a separate script for read/write plist which does not seem to be cleaner solution.

I know how to pass arguments from running a AppleScript in the installer. Is there a way to get the return value from the AppleScript to a property value?
The AppleScript has the following code line,

Structure of build.xml
I have a large build.xml which is becoming difficult to maintain. So, as a part of refactoring I have extracted few reusable methods and put them in <functionDefinitionList> ... <actionDefinition>.
However, all of them need to be at the top (which does not make much improvement on the readability). Is there any way to split this single build.xml to multiple files by taking out the <functionDefinitionList> ... <actionDefinition> in some helper files and refer them in the beginning?
I am not sure if there is a way to do it. Searching in this forum also could not find any. Would appreciate if anyone can help.

Issue installing on Windows 7 64 bit
I´m writing you due a problem we are facing when installing our tool (PlasticSCM) in some Windows machines. This is the installer link:
We have only detected the issue is a few machines: Windows 7 Enterprise K Service Pack 1 (64 bit) (Korean language).
The thing is that it doesn´t happen in every Korean language machine, and if we reinstall the operating system it works fine. So my guess is that some Windows configuration or customization could be generating the issue. We haven´t detected this issue when installing other programs in the same machines.
When we run the installer the process dies and the installation can´t continue.
Do you know what could be causing the issue? Is there any log we check to debug it? All the help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

restoring from backup -- mysql cannot start
I had a custom installer created for my application similar to a WAMP stack. When the installer runs it creates a backup of the entire directory so I can restore.
The way I restore is as followed:
- Turn off apache + mysql
- Move all the folders inside my stack installation into a new folder called "PREVIOUS"
- Move the folders from backup folder into the stack directory
- Start apache + Mysql (MYsql fails to start, while apache works)
- Delete previous
When I go to restore, mysql doesn't start and it gives me a cryptic error that it cannot start.
Starting MySQL Database...
Exit code: 1
Stdout:
Stderr:
Unknown error starting mysql
I tried restoring all the folders inside the backup directory. I looked in mysql/data/FILE.ERR and it was empty.
I am guessing it has something to do with file permissions. I am not a windows user so I don't know how file permissions work in windows. (I use a Mac)
What steps can I take to debug? This is on Windows XP, but I am assuming the same thing happens in windows XP and greater.

How do I extract a value from a path?
I would like to take a path that the user enters such as
C:\Program Files(x86)\Test\Folder
and extract just
Test\Folder
from this to append to a variable. I am assuming that I need to use some kind of regex match, but not sure. If I use "${installdir}" for the text with the pattern "${windows_folder_program_files}" and a substitution of "\", I just get an error.
