Newbie Question: Standalones and the Message Box

[dave_syntax]

Hi Guys & Girls

I'm trying to debug a standalone, which runs fine in the IDE on my mac and as a standalone, but when testing on a PC the .exe fails to find the linked QT files and displays a white QT box.

Rather than post the code - which is a tutorial on runrev lessons. I would rather try and suss it myself.

I'm assuming I have a relative path issue and was going to put theVideoFile name into the Message Box.
This works great for testing in the IDE, but I can't work out how to see the Message Box when running the standalone.

Am I debugging in the correct way? Or should I log all the Messages to a text file?

Any help would be appreciated!!

Cheers
Dave

Thanks for the reply - I'll take a look!

I did find out my issue - my setup:

Running Windows XP through VMware Fusion on my Mac and the files were on a mounted shared mac volume.
As soon as I burnt a disc of the files and tested that it worked!

So I am now using iso images for testing - which works as well
