standalone app with xcode?

I've made standalone apps with xcode before, but that was cocoa.  I have a
carbon app right now that won't run from the Finder, only from xcode.  I
built with the release configuration instead of the debug configuration.
The settings clearly disabled zerolink for the release configuration, it
builds in a "Release" folder in the build folder, as opposed to a "Debug"
folder, yet it won't run from the Finder.  The error I get is:

You cannot open the application "AppName.app" because it may be damaged or
incomplete.

What do I do about this?  If selecting release configuration when building
isn't enough, then what am I missing?

Thanks.

The first thing to do is find out what's damaged and/or missing. Have you
looked at the system log using Console.app? Quite often you'll get more
detailed information there.

This typically happens when the CFBundleExecutableName in your
Info.plist file doesn't match the actual name of the executable you've
told Xcode to build.

Hope this helps,
Eric
