Jim,
Thanks for the links.
I guess I didn't phrase my question very well. My standalones have
always been splash screens with the actual stacks in the program
folder. It's one of those stacks I want to be able to replace with the
update, so this isn't new to me. It's actually figuring out how to do
it that I need help with, but after a quicl browse through the links
you provided, I am pretty sure I will find my answers. Thanks again.
Cheers
Lars
Can anybody point me to a tutorial or a demonstration or anything
that emplains creating or deleting or replacing stacks from a
standalone? What I want to do is make a standalone that updates
another standalone by replacing one of its stacks with one from the
updater stack. As basic as this probably is, I haven't a clue how to
do it, and all atttempts to figure it out have failed.
First concept for you to realize is that a standalone is a compiled
app or exe, which means once compiled, it can no longer be modified.
This is kind of like an oil painting where the artist wants to go back
and replace a blue color with one that is a little darker. Can't undo
the painting, but you can make a new one and change the blue color.
For Rev, this means go back and compile a new version of your
standalone.
What you can do is create a standalone that uses stacks that are not
part of the standalone, then replace those stacks. There are many
discussions on the list about this and the key word to look for is
'splash screen'
