Hi Pierre,

I am guessing that you are using some sort of archiving tool to keep
multiple backups and the standalone builder is picking the wrong ones
to include in your app.

Have a look in the standalone settings dialog and confirm that it is
listing the stacks you expect to find in your app and that it is
looking in the right place for them. Are the sub-stacks saved as
separate files or are they part of a single stack file?

If you can find the old copies of your stacks, move them to a separate
folder and zip them so that Rev cannot use them, then try building
again.

HTH,
Sarah
