Problem with altBrowser

[J. Landman Gay]

Tech support is receiving a high volume of questions about the 
alt-plugins, and the problems are all due to incorrect installation. 
These are externals, not plugin stacks, and you need to put the 
externals in the proper location so they will load.

To install the altBrowser external on Windows:

Look in your My Documents folder and find the "My Revolution" folder 
inside that. Inside the "My Revolution" folder there should be a folder 
called Externals. If there isn't one, create an Externals folder 
yourself. Then put all the .dll files in there. You can keep the other 
files (the ones without the .dll extension) anywhere you like. Only the 
.dll files need to be placed in the Externals folder.

If you are on a Mac:

Look in your Documents folder and find the "My Revolution" folder inside 
that. Inside the "My Revolution" folder there should be a folder called 
Externals. If there isn't one, create an Externals folder yourself. Then 
put all the .bundle files in there. You can keep the other files (the 
ones without the .bundle extension) anywhere you like. Only the .bundle 
files need to be placed in the Externals folder.

Once you have moved the files, quit and restart Revolution, and then the 
externals will load automatically the first time you try to use them.

If you haven't visited the externals page recently, documentation has 
been added to the downloads page. You may want to revisit it and 
download the pdf files that contain instructions.
