Windows failed to initialize

Hi everyone,
I just saved my current stack as a standalone. The Mac Version is
flawless. The Window's version, however, puts up a "Failed to
initialize" dialog almost immediately. There was a number like
xx00005 or something similar posted; is that number meaningful? The
only issues that I can think of that may have caused a problem are:
At one point this mainstack had a substack that is no longer being
used. All references to it were deleted and the substack itself were
deleted, but I was never able to completely remove or delete all
"indications" of that substack from the mainstack. Apparently this
caused no problems in the Mac version, but I wonder if this may have
been the cause of confusion in the Window's standalone.
There are some references to the various menu buttons, either
enabling or disabling portions from time to time. I did not use any
conditionals in the scripts that checked for the platform, assuming
that Rev would take care of those kinds of things automatically.
The externals, audio clips, are linked through player "paths" and
work fine on the Mac version, and they have ended up in a folder
named "Externals" on the Window's version, but did Rev handle the
rest of that conversion properly, or could that be my problem.
I guess, what I'm asking is: when this kind of thing happens, how do
we debug our Rev stack to fix it?
TIA,
Joe Wilkins
