New MC Standalone Builder?

to use something like "cMCStandaloneSettings" in the future to avoid such conflicts. The second non-running standalone, which throws the same error message, does *not* have such conflicting "cRevStandaloneSettings", in fact, there are none at all, having seemingly disappeared later somehow. To sum it up: About four hours for the first two explorations of our new Standalone Builder, some insights - including looks at the structure of the scripts - and at least one really working standalone. All in all a positive achievement. Best regards, Wilhelm Sanke ___ metacard mailing list metacard@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard
