HELP -- "error" when trying to compile standalone

[Randy Padawer]

Well, things only happen when you're on a terrible deadline, and 
that's what happened to me yesterday. I had spent hours working on a 
program that was part of a presentation (long story) and went to 
compile an OS X and/or Windows standlone application so I could dash 
off just in time. But no matter what I did (compiling for one and not 
the other, or for both) I would get an error that said: "There was an 
error while saving the standalone application." Can anyone provide a 
clue as to the kinds of things that may result in this error? Thanks 
very gratefully, Randy
