I've just uploaded my version of the MetaCard Setup stack to the MC_IDE area on Yahoo Groups:

<http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/MC_IDE/files/>

This stack will automate setting up the MC IDE and installing the latest Revolution engine. There are several options available; for example, you can automatically download the latest IDE, use an existing IDE (handy if you've edited your IDE stacks) and choose the version of the engine to install.

Since automated downloading from the Yahoo area is tricky, RevJournal is currently mirroring the latest IDE stacks. I will keep the files updated whenever they change, (and Klaus, Richard can give you access too if you want.)

In addition to engine and IDE installation, the setup stack will optionally download and install a copy of the Revolution Dictionary Shell stack. If desired, it will also move all the Revolution documentation into the shell. Import works with any version of Revolution 2.x or higher.

This is a handy stack to place in the MC Plugins folder, where you can access it every time an update is needed. There is extensive documentation in the stack, just click the "?" button at the lower left corner to read it.

The stack has been tested with the last 2 engine revisions and the last 3 IDE changes, and seems to work fine, but please report any problems if you find them.
