BTDTGTTS ( Been There Done That Got The Tee Shirt )

Why waste time when the system is perfectly capable of it

the error was triggered by purpose
when adding the path I used /applications instead of /Application
I hope to have demonstrated that the universl build is possible and it works
so it would be wiser for the esteemed participant in forum to refrain from
wild guessing
and stick to verified facts
