If the Finder isn't honoring the setting established in Get Info, it
sounds like just another Finder bug. I would defer to Jacque's advice:
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".
