Joe,
My apologies for sending you into uncharted waters. :)
Resource Hacker is a wonderful little utility that allows you to modify
many different types of files on Windows, particularity DLL's and EXE's.
You can get it from: http://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/
The "resources" it allows you to modify depends on what the file
contains, but with Revolution Standalones, you can modify the Icons that
are embedded into the Standalone, as well as the Version information
that it places there (or at least before version 2.8 you could).
It can do major damage to a file, so you should always use it on copies
of files and not the originals. Regarding the Initialization Error, I
have no idea what is causing it. I just noticed that the engine is
different from previous versions, which may explain why the new resource
is in there. Who knows, maybe it's for Vista Compatability or something.

Thanks, Derek, and I should have mentioned that I'm using the latest Rev
version, build 360.
However you're getting me into uncharted waters. I've done nothing with
the version info about the standalone, because I didn't even know
something like that could be addressed and where and how to do it.
"Resource Hacker"? What's that?
"Standalone Resources"? Again, where and how? Sorry for being such a
dimwit, but this cross platform stuff is still a bit bewildering!

I don't know if this helps, but I also get that error message with my
standalones, but only if I use Resource Hacker to remove the extra
spaces in the version information of the standalone. Once make the
changes, the standalone throws that message.
Additionally, I noticed in the standalone resources that there is an
item called "24" which was never there previously. It's contents
contain:
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1"
manifestVersion="1.0"><dependency><dependentAssembly><assemblyIdentity type="win32"
name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls" version="6.0.0.0"

Hi everyone,
I just saved my current stack as a standalone. The Mac Version is
flawless. The Window's version, however, puts up a "Failed to
initialize" dialog almost immediately. There was a number like
xx00005 or something similar posted; is that number meaningful? The
only issues that I can think of that may have caused a problem are:
At one point this mainstack had a substack that is no longer being
used. All references to it were deleted and the substack itself were
deleted, but I was never able to completely remove or delete all
"indications" of that substack from the mainstack. Apparently this
caused no problems in the Mac version, but I wonder if this may have
been the cause of confusion in the Window's standalone.
There are some references to the various menu buttons, either
enabling or disabling portions from time to time. I did not use any
conditionals in the scripts that checked for the platform, assuming
that Rev would take care of those kinds of things automatically.
The externals, audio clips, are linked through player "paths" and
work fine on the Mac version, and they have ended up in a folder
named "Externals" on the Window's version, but did Rev handle the
rest of that conversion properly, or could that be my problem.
I guess, what I'm asking is: when this kind of thing happens, how do
we debug our Rev stack to fix it?
TIA,
Joe Wilkins
