Mark,
To produce a standalone CD product in RevStudio, is it necessary for any files to be installed on the PC?
If Monks Had Macs installs a folder on the PC with a launcher (among other things) to run the interactive CD.
I have an older interactive disc that bundles its product with HyperStudio4 Player and doesn't install any files at all, running completely from the CD.
That's what I'd prefer.
Would I then need to build in such a way as to bundle product with RevPlayer?
And can I do that with Studio or do I have to have Media for that?

Dear ds tx,
You don't need to install anything on a PC to run a standalone. More complex projects often need some files to be written on the hard disk, which is the main reason to install some files.
There is no reason to put the standalone itself on the hard disk. It might load more slowly, but once everything has been loaded into memory, it will run just as if it is running directly from the hard disk. However, if you have a lot of media on the CD, which is accessed by the standalone, this might slow down performance of your standalone notably.
To produce a standalone, you need Studio or Enterprise. I wouldn't use Media and distribute the stack(s) along with RevPlayer, if i were releasing a commercial product.
Best,
Mark

Thanks Mark.
I think I understand, otherwise please correct me if I'm not.
I looked at the files that If Monks... installed and I now see that they are all just document files.
I presume these were installed to make the product run faster as you say, so the media files don't have to be accessed from the CD,
or perhaps they were compressed to fit on the CD and then had to be decompressed in order to run.
But at any rate, nothing went into my OS.
