Hi Karen,
 
Please note that I'm testing this on Win2K, so things
might be a little different on WinXP. 

After building the standalone, go to the directory
with the .exe file ; there should be a subdirectory
'Externals'. In that directory should be a file
'revxml.dll' which contain the external commands and
functions that make up the XML library.
 
If this file is present, you could add a button to
test which externals are available, by means of the
following script:
--
on mouseUp
  answer "ExternalPackages:" & return & \
    the externalPackages of stack "revExternalLibrary"
end mouseUp
--

(The stack 'revExternalLibrary' is added by the
standalone builder to hold references to the external
packages and make sure they're loaded at startup)

If the above answer dialog doesn't contain 'revXML' in
its display text, then it is missing and may point to
a bug in the Rev standalone builder.

Let me know if this file is present and you still
can't get it to work.

Best regards,

Jan Schenkel.
