Ignore this question. I need to have File Packager loaded which was mistakingly missing from Developer 6i (base and patch), and unfortunately, only found in the 6.0 toolset which is not multi-home compliant, and I haven't loaded Dev6i into the oracle default_home. ARGH.

This is a bug in the Global registry in Project Builder. There's a note on metalink about this.

I was doing this on the FMB file and not on the FMX. That doesn't make sense to me -- you'd think you'd click the FMB and select Build to build the FMX... Oh well.

This was solved by doing exactly what I said... Just putting everything in one path, and setting that path as the working directory for a Project Builder shortcut to my application "deploy/staging" area.

Not sure what's going on here.

Haven't fixed this either. Seems like I could add a macro to define another output path somewhere, but haven't read enough about it. Anybody have any more input on this tool? Received on Sat Nov 18 2000 - 05:00:30 CET
