I use a Macintosh G5 running OS X 10.3.4. When the term began in June, I was, as usual, devising my teaching modules, building them in Rev 2.1.2, and distributing them to the students, a majority of whom are Windows users. As the term develops I add functions to the module, so there are something like six updates in any term. Sometime in early July (can't be sure of the date), I upgraded to 2.2.1 and then 2.2CR2 in rapid succession. Then when I went to do the next build, I couldn't get the Windows apps built at all. The Revolution staff was extremely helpful in running down the URL problem with downloading the Win32 engine (I saw that another user had this problem and raised it in this forum). I thought that had solved the problem.
But no. I could build the Windows applications after downloading the engine. A normal-looking .exe file is built on my G5. But nobody has been able to use the applications on a Windows machine, and I can't use them on the Windows XP machine I keep for testing software. When transferred via FTP, the application looks exactly like an OS X bundle. The Windows machine just sees a .ds store file and two ghost applications that will not run. Trying to run them gets the "0,0" error (whatever that is). Burning the .exe file onto a CD from the G5 produces, at least, a single entity on the Windows desktop, but it has what I think of as the "elemental" icon (it just looks like a blank GUI window), and when you try to run it you get the "0,0" error. The properties window says it is an application and all looks fine, but the things will not run. We have moved them every whichaway, over SMB, AFP, TCP, FTP, CD roms formatted in every possible mode, external hard drives also formatted every way there is, and there is absolutely nothing we can do to get the standalones to run in Windows.
If this were a bug I'm sure you'd all be hotting up the forum talking about it. Obviously I'm doing something wrong. I am using the same settings in the standalone builder that I used in the old builder. So far as I can see is that the only thing that has changed is the upgrade to 2.2x, after which my course ground to a halt. What am I missing?
