error saving standalones in 2.5.1

[Stephen McNutt]

I've verified that there's no folder--or anything at all, in the folder 
in which I'm trying to build the standalone to.  I don't have any 
suspicious characters in any of the file names.  Again, 2.2.1 built the 
standalone with no problem, but 2.5.1 immediately gives me the error 
dialog after I tell it where to save the standalone.  I appreciate the 
help.  Any other thoughts?

We've seen one other thing cause this. Under some conditions, if you 
already have a folder of the name of the app in the directory where 
you're trying to build the new one, Rev will choke rather than 
overwrite. This isn't 100% repeatable and I suspect there's also 
something about the folder/app names themselves, so I haven't 
Bugzillaed this, but maybe it's a pointer for you.
