"Standalone" is the name of the runtime engine(s) used by the standalone 
builder. I see that in OS X, both Standalone and Revolution have the 
same creator code -- "Revo". The Finder must be getting confused.

If the customer doesn't need to build standalones, he could try zipping 
the OS X apps inside the Runtime folder. That may force the Finder to 
"see" other copies of "Revo".
