Cool. :) You should report this so no one else has to go through the suffering and heartache: Only the versions where there was a file format change are listed in the dropdown, and 5.5 was the last format before 7.0. So you did the right thing. Edit: the huge file size is due to all the unicode lib...

Try LC 6.7 for a lark. Good News!... downloaded and installed LC 6.7.2 opened my rev file in 7.0.1 to save to legacy 6... there is no option for that in my dropdown? saved to 5.5 (closest option) with a new file name. Opened new rev file in LC 6.7.2 and created windows standalone Installed on targe...

Jacque, Those are all great ideas... and I had also thought of and tried the https://google thing using the SSL dll. I've tried LC 7.0.0 and 7.0.1... (maybe I crosslink engine library files having both versions installed during the windows build?) Driving me nuts! PS. the Android standalone version ...

Jacque,

No success with the SSL dll...
I think I will just completely remove LC and do a clean install (and hope that remedies the issue)... Fun!

Thanks,
Jay

I'm thoroughly confused too, if that helps. :) Does it fail with any test URL or only google? Does it help if you include the SSL libraries in your standalone (standalone settings, select SSL in the library list.) Thanks for your suggestions Jacque... I have tried multiple valid URL's with no succe...

Simon,

Here is a result screenshot of the standalone on the Vista target machine.
I am using LC 7.0.1.
I remain thoroughly confused.

Thanks in advance,
Jay

With that simple stack it fails?

Thanks Simon... I will try it first thing in the morning and report back!

Hi Jay, Any chance these machines are behind a proxy? Simon Simon, Neither are... and to make it all really strange... if I use a launch url script in the standalone, the default browser launches successfully with the correct url but I can't use a put or get without a reboot. At this point... Think...

Any further suggestions to resolve this issue? I have scoured the forums for "invalid host address" and could find no posts directly related to my issue except this one: http :// www . runrev . com/pipermail/use-livecode//2012-November/180328 . html Give the age of the post, I'm not sure it's applic...

okay, I tried both suggested scripts and received "invalid host address" results on both... on multiple target windows (Vista and Win 7) machines... not sure where to go next as REBOOTING the target machine(s) solves the connection issue... but obviously don't want the end user to have to reboot aft...

Hi Jay, But i was talking about (also) checking "the result"! 8) That my give a hint on WHAT might have gone wrong, you could add it to your script: ... put url ("http :// www . google . com") into tURL if tURL is empty then answer question "Please check your internet connection and try again." & C...

okay, just tried removing the quotes inside the parentheses of the url and the script editor throws an error.
So I'm guessing that the quotes need to be there... Still stuck and perplexed!

Thanks in advance,
Jay

Thank you for the quick reply SparkOut... I implemented your suggestions and had the same end result on the target machine. script is in a button on a card in the stack... long after the liburl loads on mouseUp --Check for Internet Connection put url ("http :// www . google . com") into tURL if tURL...

Klaus, I put your handler in a mouseup script and "Viola" it worked like a champ! (Now I'm seriously confused) My challenge seems to be isolated to using an internet url and the put command... for example --Check for Internet Connection put url "ht tp :// www . google . com" into tURL if tURL is emp...

Klaus,

Thank you for the quick reply... I will implement your handler, run the standalone on the target machine and report back ASAP!

Thanks again,
Jay
