LiveCode Forums.

G'day,
I have recently finished creating my very first LiveCode stack, and I have come across a problem with creating a standalone..
Everything works in LC just as it should...

I have saved my stack,
It is still open in the IDE,
I have enabled 'build for windows',
I have made sure my stack is included,
My standalone save path is in a folder in the LC install directory,

And now my problem begins..
I start the 'Save as Standalone Application' process, and select the folder where I want it saved to.
It then brings up a dialog box asking me if I want to "save changes to stack and all other stacks in file before closing?"
If I click SAVE, LC will save my stack, and then terminate. It does not create any sort of standalone file where I want it.

No matter how many times I try it, it will always ask me the same thing.

I have tried changing the save path, but with no success.

Am I doing something wrong? Any help would be very much appreciated.

Regards,
Damien.

Don't point to the lc install folder. It requires elevated privileges to write there, and the standalone builder doesn't request the elevation. POint to your desktop, or your documents folder or somewhere that has write permission for the current user and it should work.

thanks mate,

I have already tried many different save paths (as mentioned). different folders, different drives,
It just keeps on asking me if I want to save it before closing.

YAY!!!!!

Solved it!!

the only thing I did different when trying this time, was enable bug reports.
So, maybe it didn't want to build because I had no error checking code..

I guess it is a case of 'persevere, and you will succeed.'

sounds like a good signature.
