I remember a thread on this same problem a few months ago. I can find
the thread in the archives, and it identifies the problem. I thought
we solved it, but it ends before anyone came up with a solution.
The problem involves the packaging of the runtime solution. Although
the FileMaker file format is identical for both platforms, the
runtime application is different. Apparently the files packaged with
a runtime are identified with that solution, and don't work with the
runtime on the other platform.
The only solution we were able to offer was to import the data from
the files on one platform to the other. I was quite sure we found a
more complete workaround. I'll dig some more to see if my memory is
correct.
