URGENT: Windows engine?

[Sannyasin Sivakatirswami]

Mark, thanks for chiming in...

I'm really stuck: I have an app that use to work fairly well on  
Windows, but now is quite broken on Windows, 2000. it is all based  
around controlling quicktime playback of audio files.  Quicktime  
controller scripts that work fine on OSX are failing on Windows 2000,  
the controller bar doesn't even appear on Windows.

I have opened, modified and saved this stack a number of times in  
2.5... So I was thinking that perhaps the standalone splash engine  
"players" that I had created under 2.2  which successfully drives the  
app on a Mac even though the latest version was saved in 2.5, might be  
failing on a Windows machine: i.e. a stack built and saved under 2.5  
might not run properly under Windows engine Rev 2.2. So I take this as  
the first factor to eliminate from the equation.. but it means building  
a new splash engine standalong "player" from the latest 2.5 version of  
Windows.

I start a new thread on the specific windows issues/failing scripts.

OK, yes, I did download  file "Revolution.exe" and I put this in the  
folder

Revolution/components/engines/Revolution.exe

but the SA setting app doesn't recognize it is there I still get "The  
engine for win32 is missing, do you want to download it now?" And an  
attempt to download fails. Even though a direct FTP download of the  
Revolution.exe package does work.

So, I added another layer

Revolution/components/engines/Windows/Revolution.exe

but still get the same error message.

Can someone else using OSX, who is successfully building Windows app  
help me here? What exactly are is the path/file name for the windows  
engine? are there any permissions issues I need to be addressing?

thanks
