> . How are you copying them to the Windows machine?

I create a special "pack" with all the content required to do a web upgrade. 
(4D Code, web pages, scripts, plugins whatever).

The pack gets "Radmin"d onto a Windows server and then things are manually 
copied into their right homes using "desktop drag and drop" by a human being 
with a mouse over a remote link.

I wouldn't trust a script for an operation that only happens every couple of 
months. I'd need to eyeball it anyway to check everything was ok.

It's not a huge time issue. The thing that bothers me is the redundancy- 
instead of copying the *actual* Active4D contents to the install folder, I need 
to make an intermediate copy in hierarchical format for the install folder. 
Then if I revise something else for whatever reason - even if only a few hours 
have passed - I get paranoid and redo the com.aparajita, even if nothing 
changed in there.

The only place it really slows things down is in testing, where over a period 
of a couple of days or testing, the redundancy of the intermediate folder can 
occasionally cause false alarms (because you copied the last com.aparajita, 
forgetting you made a tiny change to Active4D but didn't redo com.aparajita).

This would all be solved if all locations supported a consistent architecture. 
The structure folder is the odd one out - all other locations support the 
/conf, /libs architecture.

I think I just talked myself into a feature request. Off to Issuetracker I go...
