As far as I know, you're the only one who couldn't make it work. I 
suspect for your stacks you only need to deal with password protection 
and embedded MC resources. Also, possibly, you may be having trouble if 
you haven't set the HCAddressing property to false, if your stacks are 
imported HC stacks.

Version 4.6 is very solid. Are you sure the bugs you noticed aren't for 
mobile? The desktop build is very good. Can you remember any bugs you've 
seen that impact desktop work?

You'll be left in the dust if you don't upgrade, especially if the MC 
IDE ports the SB from LiveCode with just a few tweaks. I believe that's 
the plan.

I'm still willing to work with you on the standalone issue. I'm not 
aware of anyone else having trouble. The LiveCode tech queue hasn't had 
a single inquiry about it for at least the last several years.
