Tech support is receiving a high volume of questions about the alt-plugins, and the problems are all due to incorrect installation. These are externals, not plugin stacks, and you need to put the externals in the proper location so they will load.

To install the altBrowser external on Windows:

Look in your My Documents folder and find the "My Revolution" folder inside that. Inside the "My Revolution" folder there should be a folder called Externals. If there isn't one, create an Externals folder yourself. Then put all the .dll files in there. You can keep the other files (the ones without the .dll extension) anywhere you like. Only the .dll files need to be placed in the Externals folder.

If you are on a Mac:

Look in your Documents folder and find the "My Revolution" folder inside that. Inside the "My Revolution" folder there should be a folder called Externals. If there isn't one, create an Externals folder yourself. Then put all the .bundle files in there. You can keep the other files (the ones without the .bundle extension) anywhere you like. Only the .bundle files need to be placed in the Externals folder.

Once you have moved the files, quit and restart Revolution, and then the externals will load automatically the first time you try to use them.

If you haven't visited the externals page recently, documentation has been added to the downloads page. You may want to revisit it and download the pdf files that contain instructions.

After downloading the altBrowser stack and following the steps in the stack, I get the following error message when I try to run the demo:

         executing at 2:24:19 PM
Type    Handler: can't find handler
ObjecbrowserTest
Line    XBrowser_Open tWinID,pURL
Hint    XBrowser_Open

The offending code is the line that XBrowser_open

on abOpenBrowser pURL
  --> MAKE SURE YOU USE WINDOW ID FOR MAC
  put the windowid of this stack into tWinID
  XBrowser_Open tWinID,pURL ----> the problem code!
  put the result into tBrowserID
  if tBrowserID contains "error" then
    answer warning lBrowserID
    exit to top
  end if
  set the altBrowserID of this stack to tBrowserID
end abOpenBrowser
