So far you're the only one I know of who can't make it work. We don't 
even get any complaints in the support queue. So there is something 
about your stacks that's different than the norm.

Two things to try. First, tell us what those error codes are and I'll 
look them up. That should give a clue.

Second, if you are including MC resources in your stack, Rev may not 
like it. Make a copy of one that won't build and, as a test, open it in 
MC and use the resource mover to remove all MC resources. Save the 
stack. If the file extension is "mc" on disk then change it to "rev" 
(shouldn't be necessary any more but that used to be a problem.) Open 
the test stack in Rev, use Standalone Settings to choose some options 
and platforms, and try a build. If that works, your other attempts were 
probably getting hung up on the issue where you can't have two stacks 
with the same name (ask/answer dialogs, most likely.) If that's the 
problem then the error codes should tell us.
