    Last week, somebody here asked why they were seeing an error of type -192 when opening a Mac app. Someone else correctly said it was a "resource not found" error. Unfortunately I'm unable to find that thread again.

    Anyway, it just happened to me and I realized what it was: if you open a PowerPC-only app on a 68k machine, it won't have any 68k 'CODE' resources and thus can't run. PPC-only apps keep their code in the data fork of the application.

    An error alert says: "The application program “Mac OS Install” could not be opened, because an error of type -192 occurred."
