Hi all,

I don't know where to post this, so I'll start here. Sorry if it's not the right place.

I had Rev Enterprise 3.5 on my pc. Last Saturday I installed the Rev Media alpha. After that when I open a project I'm working on in Rev Enterprise, I get some Rev welcoming text in the text fields of my app. That of course totally breaks my app.

I removed Rev Media from my pc and relicensed Rev Enterprise but that didn't help.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Steve

that problem sounds rather exotic...

it seems that rev thinks it owns your stack.

check the names of your stacks, no stack name should start with "rev" and no stack should be named "answer" or "ask", "message box" or "home".

if you enable "show rev ui elements", you'll be able to see custom properties created by the ide in your stack. You can enable this in the "view" menu, the third last item. Maybe one of those is misaligned. alternatively you can get the cleaner stack from altuit, it removes all these properties automatically.

finally, if it happens in all your stacks and not a specific one, you can try to delete the rev preferences file. it's found here on macos x, i don't know where it resides on windows:
/Users/<username>/Library/Preferences/Runtime Revolution/Revolution Enterprise/revpreferences.rev

In windows, it resides in %USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Runtime Revolution\Revolution Enterprise You can go to Start > Run... and paste that path and click OK to open that directory. From there you will see a folder named Preferences which will then contain revPreferences.rev.

Rev Media alpha also stuffed my Rev Enterprise 3.5 install; making the script editor freeze. I suggest that you don't run this alpha version on a production machine.
