I have come across this happening with 2 possible causes:
1. if the path name contains a weird character i.e. an ASCII > 127 - 
characters including accents etc
2. sometimes having the standalone builder search for inclusions causes 
problems, especially if the stack is password protected. Select the 
inclusions manually and see if this helps.

Have you done the updates using "Check for updates..." in the Help 
menu? One of the updates was for the standalone settings stack, so it 
may have already fixed this problem.

Cheers,
