My standalone don't run on pc Windows

Post by undelouest » Sun Jan 04, 2009 8:40 pm

Hello !
I made 3 standalone.apps with Studio 3.0 on my iMac intel
All 3 are running well on other mac ppc or intel
But on pc Windows :
- The first one : quite simple with few cards run well
-The 2 others a little more sophisticate with sub stacks and external data-files don't work : I see the front page but nothing happens when I click a button.
Errors in filename ? bad expressions ?

Isn't it the case with a standalone that if there's an error in the script, it simply won't execute?

If you're accessing external data files, you could try writing some code to check for the existence of the file that you're looking for before trying to open it directly?

I had a problem recently where I was putting a stack 'into use' but had misspelt its name and consequently, all my start up code didn't work.

Hi,

I sugest you include the error dialogue in your standalones. Klick on the bug symbol in the standalone application settings. If your .exe halts due to an error, you can then save the report to a file and see where the problem occured. At least it will give you a hint.

Cheers,

Malte
