When I first distributed my Forms Generator to Windows users, I had it put into
the Program Files folder. They immediately reported CTD almost as soon as they
launched the app and after signing in. I traced it to the fact that I routinely
save my stacks by script in development so I do not lose any changes. I had to
completely refactor to not do that anymore, and to keep any persistent changes
I needed to save in a prefs file.
Bottom line, when distributing standalone, IMHO, don't save anything with the
stack, or else install the standalone in a place where the user has write
access by default.
