Automated setup file uploaded

[Klaus Major]

Hi Jaqueline,

> I've just uploaded my version of the MetaCard Setup stack to the  
> MC_IDE area on Yahoo Groups:
>
> <http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/MC_IDE/files/>
>
> This stack will automate setting up the MC IDE and installing the  
> latest Revolution engine. There are several options available; for  
> example, you can automatically download the latest IDE, use an  
> existing IDE (handy if you've edited your IDE stacks) and choose  
> the version of the engine to install.
>
> Since automated downloading from the Yahoo area is tricky,  
> RevJournal is currently mirroring the latest IDE stacks. I will  
> keep the files updated whenever they change, (and Klaus, Richard  
> can give you access too if you want.)
>
> In addition to engine and IDE installation, the setup stack will  
> optionally download and install a copy of the Revolution Dictionary  
> Shell stack. If desired, it will also move all the Revolution  
> documentation into the shell. Import works with any version of  
> Revolution 2.x or higher.
>
> This is a handy stack to place in the MC Plugins folder, where you

> documentation in the stack, just click the "?" button at the lower

>
> The stack has been tested with the last 2 engine revisions and the  
> last 3 IDE changes, and seems to work fine, but please report any  
> problems if you find them.

Wow, great work!

Works like a charm, but I got an error ""Installation failed: Could  
not rename Revolution engine. can't rename file"
when I selected "Use the currently running Revolution". No problem  
when selecting Rev manually.

Will this also run with engines <2.7?
Not that I'd need it ;-)
