Bob, Symptoms you report in 6 are the result of dx running without the environment set up correctly (as would happen when you just double-click on dxexec, if files are missing, or if the directory structure is perturbed.). Suhaib is right... the directory structure needs to be left intact for it to work. I don't know if you moved the files or if we have an error in the packaging, you might shed some light on that. Pete
