Can't delete standalone in Windows
Recently I've noted a problem on building standalones (on my Mac OS X using Rev 2.7) and moving them to Windows. While the standalones work on Windows, if I try to move them to the trash in Windows, I get a message: Cannot delete (the program). Access is denied. Make sure the disk is not full or write protected and that the file in not currently in use. The problem is that the file is not in use, I have about 200gb of disk space, there is no password needed to access the computer, and I do not have this problem with other kinds of files. The only way I can trash the files is to restart the computer and try again. I do not know if this is a problem with Revolution or with my Windows computer. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Re: Can't delete standalone in Windows
Hi Steve, I had sometimes the same problem when I copy the standalone from the Mac to the PC through the network (I connect from the Mac and the PC is mounted as a network disk). MacOS may lock the copied file on the PC. I must eject the PC to unlock the file. Hope it helps Thierry On 2006, Mar 14, , at 21:09, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Recently I've noted a problem on building standalones (on my Mac OS X using Rev 2.7) and moving them to Windows.

Re: Can't delete standalone in Windows
Hit ctrl-alt-delete and look for your standalone in the task manager. I've had times where all the windows close but for some reason, the application is still running. If you find it there, you can force quit it, and then you should be able to trash the standalone. This seems to usually happen if a script error occurs in the runtime that prevents a stack from appearing, I think.

RE: Can't delete standalone in Windows
Cannot delete (the program). Access is denied. Make sure the disk is not full or write protected and that the file in not currently in use. Use the CTRL + Delete key. You'll see your app running there still. You can close it from there. To avoid this be sure to implicitly call Quit in the application when closing down.

RE: Can't delete standalone in Windows
Use the CTRL + Delete key. That should of course be CTRL + ALT+Delete Scott -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

There are a few things that can cause this: a window left open (it be hidden or have been closed but not removed from memory) pending messages still runnning a library still in use - this can esecially happen if the speech library is not unloaded.

Re: Can't delete standalone in Windows
Regarding the inability to trash certain standalones that are transferred from Mac to Windows, it does appear that I can trash the standalone in Windows using control-alt-delete. But to prevent the problem in the first place, you are correct, Scott, that quitting the program through the Quit command, rather than the close box in the titlebar prevents the problem. Thus, the solution seems to be to not build in a close box in the standalone titlebar. Thanks Scott. I love this group.

Steve, are correct, Scott, that quitting the program through the Quit command, rather than the close box in the titlebar prevents the problem. Thus, the solution seems to be to not build in a close box in the standalone titlebar. A better solution is to place the Quit command in the On CloseStack event... Then it'll work with the title bar as well. :-) Scott. I love this group. The people here are awesome! They've really helped me a heap and I am very grateful to be able to pitch in sometimes.
