Hi Jaqueline,
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.
Wow, great work!
Works like a charm, but I got an error ""Installation failed: Could
not rename Revolution engine. can't rename file"
when I selected "Use the currently running Revolution". No problem
when selecting Rev manually.
Will this also run with engines <2.7?
Not that I'd need it ;-)
