Weird problem and I'm not sure what the subject should be

Hi all,

I'm not really sure if anyone can help or not, but I thought I'd ask  
a couple questions to see if I can figure this out.  This problem is  
only happening with OS X.

I have a custom installer that my company uses for installing our  
software.  We are in the process of doing an update to our software,  
and this installer has somehow gotten broken.  The only changes I've  
made to it were to update some information in some fields to indicate  
the new version number.  At one point the installer uses the  
revCopyFolder command to copy two bundles, my application bundle and  
the Valentina library bundle.  I have tried building it using Rev  
2.5, 2.5.1, and 2.6, all to no avail.  None of them work.  But I'm  
pretty sure the original was done with Rev 2.5 about a year ago.  I  
have compared my slightly changed stack with the original and there  
are no differences that I can see except for the slight changes  
already mentioned.  Now, what's even stranger, is that when I drop  
the original built standalone (built about a year ago) in and run it,  
it works just fine.  I have even tried playing with revCopyFile vs.  
revCopyFolder, as I seem to remember there was some change made with  
revCopyFolder somewhere along the way that made it stop working with  
bundles.  Is that true, or am I dreaming?

So here's a question.  Is there any way to tell from a standalone  
application which version of Rev (or the engine version) that was  
used when building it?  If I can find that out with the original, I  
can be sure to go back to the version of Rev used and at least try  
that to see if I can get it working.  And, is there any possible way  
that my copy of Rev 2.5 might be using newer engines, and if so, how  
can I find out?  I'm almost wondering if something is getting broken  
because the engines are not the right ones.

I did find out that "the result" is returning "execution error" and  
"the sysError" is return 2, which neither one is helpful at all.  Can  
someone tell me what error 2 is under OS X?

Thanks,
Chris
