Glad you discovered that :)

Thanks, JJS.
I had that code ion place from Bob's suggestion but ran into the (apparent) never-ending "Attaching Engine"
state. **BUT** just now I discovered, as my eye glanced over at the app's script in the Editor, the standalone build
had "re-started" my application and was "stalled" on a "red-dot" debug flag.
I ALWAYS put a red-dot/debug flag in the "OpenCard" call so I can control
whether I want the app to run or not when it initially loads into LC.
Once I clicked on the <F5> (continue) button of the editor, the standalone completed.
REALLY? Whatever! Now that I know that "feature", I can live with it.. but I bet
THAT characteristic *isn't* described in the release note(s).
Thanks again for your help!

What you need is described in the release notes from 9.x onwards
Removing the command quit is not the solution
use this, it is copied from the release notes:
on closeStack
if the environment is "development" and \
there is a stack "revStandaloneProgress" and \
the mode of stack "revStandaloneProgress" > 0 then
exit closeStack
end if
end closeStack
i use it always and always works ok.

Thanks Bob and Heather and also a thanks to Giovanni Cannizzaro.
Giovanni had the minimal fix to just remove a "quit" from any "shutDownRequest".
Heather from LC also offered the following code in a related situation to
Giovanni's:
on closeStack
if the mode of stack "revStandaloneProgress" > 0 then
exit closeStack
end if
end closeStack
The simple fix of removing the "quit" actually allowed the standalone to
generate a working
executable... HOWEVER, now the build stops with a never-ending "Attaching
engine" spinner. I have to
completely exit LC to stop the "unfinished" process.
I have tried inserting BOTH Heather's and Bob's suggestions but they do NOT resolve
the "Attaching
engine" issue.
Any suggestions?
ps... LC business 8.1.10 still generated the standalone PERFECTLY... even with
the v9 changes in the
script. Glad I kept it around!!! NOT lovin' v9x much at all!

There is a set of commands that in certain scripts like opesStack and
closeStack that will check to
see if the standalone builder is running, and then you can abort the handler.
The reason they do this is because your app could be doing anything at the
moment the standalone is
being built. The standalone has to walk through every script to check what
add-ons or libraries you
use so it can include them.
Here's what I do. In the stackScript of the mainStack:
on savingStandalone
put true into gBuildingStandAlone
end savingStandalone
on standaloneSaved
put false into gBuildingStandAlone
end standaloneSaved
Then in any openStack handler, either in the stack or card, I put this:
put the environment is "development" and \
there is a stack "revStandaloneProgress" and \
the mode of stack "revStandaloneProgress" > 0 into skipLogin
if not skipLogin then
--- code that borks your standalone building. For me it was calling a
login dialog as modal.
end if

I am having an issue with using "any" business version of 9 (9.04, 9.05,
9.5-32bit, 9.5-64bit) to
generate a standalone output of my application. I am using Windows 7
Enterprise SP1 and have tried
building the identical script (with the same result) on two different
installations of said OS on
two
different machines.
LC business v 8.1.10 generates the standalone fine.
LC business version 9.0.5 (with IDENTICAL settings in the "Standalone Application
Settings" as
used
in the v8.1.10 build) seems to crash LC just at the point of "closing open
stacks" at which point
all
things LC disappear from my desktop. An appropriate "destination" directory
for the standalone is
created as per the settings but it is completely empty.
The actual application runs fine in all LC business versions... it's just that
I can't get the LC
v9.x to generated the standalone... and ... I can't find ANY error or log
explaining what is
wrong!!
Is there such a log or audit which details the steps that LC is taking and
possibly what the issue
is that it cannot resolve? I have checked at the Administrators tools event
logging provided by
Windows 7 ... but there is no corresponding event which is simultaneous with the LC
"crash".
I follow this user-group quite closely and seem to recall others having issues
with LC v9's
standalone processes but I cannot seem to find such references within the very
large amount of chat
this site contains. I have NOT checked the LC QC bugs since I really don't
know what I'm looking
for
other than potential issues with the standalone builder.
I'd very much appreciate any tips, pointers, explanations as to how to either
resolve this issue
or
where within my LC environment I can find any logs concerning the standalone
processing.
Cheers!
