files lost when building..

[Niklas Almesjö]

Great, so I am not crazy after all.. that part about the
exe (or if it was the rev-file) was missing sounds
familiar.. though the files that got deleted were in the
build-directory in my case.
Also I think the distribution builder deletes files even if
you answer cancel to if you wish to overwrite a folder.

Yep, I saw this too. It would delete the files at the root
level of RR, 
thus
requiring a new install. I tracked it down to doing a build

distribution
where the distribution folder was the same name as one
built before, 
but the
.exe file was missing (Windows, not Mac), then the files
would get 
deleted.
The fix was to NOT DELETE the old .exe file, just write
over it OR use 
a NEW
NAME for the new build.

Hope this helps.
