Mark, thanks for chiming in...
I'm really stuck: I have an app that use to work fairly well on Windows, but now is quite broken on Windows, 2000. it is all based around controlling quicktime playback of audio files. Quicktime controller scripts that work fine on OSX are failing on Windows 2000, the controller bar doesn't even appear on Windows.
I have opened, modified and saved this stack a number of times in 2.5... So I was thinking that perhaps the standalone splash engine "players" that I had created under 2.2 which successfully drives the app on a Mac even though the latest version was saved in 2.5, might be failing on a Windows machine: i.e. a stack built and saved under 2.5 might not run properly under Windows engine Rev 2.2. So I take this as the first factor to eliminate from the equation.. but it means building a new splash engine standalong "player" from the latest 2.5 version of Windows.
I start a new thread on the specific windows issues/failing scripts.
OK, yes, I did download file "Revolution.exe" and I put this in the folder
Revolution/components/engines/Revolution.exe
but the SA setting app doesn't recognize it is there I still get "The engine for win32 is missing, do you want to download it now?" And an attempt to download fails. Even though a direct FTP download of the Revolution.exe package does work.
So, I added another layer
Revolution/components/engines/Windows/Revolution.exe
but still get the same error message.
Can someone else using OSX, who is successfully building Windows app help me here? What exactly are is the path/file name for the windows engine? are there any permissions issues I need to be addressing?
thanks

Sannyasin,
You can download the engines here:
<ftp://ftp.runrev.com/pub/revolution/downloads/engines/2.5/>
The engines in this ftp directory can be decompressed by StuffIt Expander 7 or later.
The engines in my Rev folder (MacOS 9) are called: Linux, MacOSfat, Revolution.app and Windows.
If you're going to build applications for MacOS 9, you need to download
<http://downloads.runrev.com/revolution/distributions/current/ revolution.sit>
and pull out the engine. I believe that the correct name for the engine is MacOSPPC, but I might be wrong. You can also use MacOSfat, but the resulting application will be much bigger than a real PPC application.
I am desparately waiting for the other engines to come available, particularly the 68K engine.
Best regards,
Mark

of my own OSX applications package, quit Rev, rebooted, but the standalone setting wizard still says the window engine is missing?
Tks
