This is being done solely on my responsibilty and outside the normal Matrix process. I still don't have any info on WHEN patch 6 will be made official, but this would be helpful step to ensure that there are not runtime issues with the code when it is. $ i" i# [* ~( ]* h7 m. i

I3 V7 U' V" i1 ~As a result, I had to rebuild the dev environment on a new PC. The new PC had a newer O/S than my old one plus additional Window patches installed. - u+ y. J* J. A$ c
$ s6 \% |" v% `7 o' p8 ], TThe build works fine on my PC, but then it is also the one that created it. ' r6 r j0 U, h% ^; b
A few beta testers have tried the new EXE but I am not sure as to how many actually have tried it on various PC combinations. & `4 i" g; i* v9 _, C. O# s% k
$ T2 m! |$ E# n
As a result, I need to be 100% convinced that the new code will run on existing installs of AE. # _$ [* B* H/ C# T$ B& `$ O& K" u' H* G
I have created an installer that will install the new EXE and DLL (for build 03) onto your PC in a new directory called Beta2. A shortcut, like the original Beta one, will be created on the desktop referencing the new directory. $ I0 f6 J/ E3 G! q6 R6 E* K7 ?: @% n/ p+ u+ K
I would appreciate it if some of you could try this out on your various O/S and CPUs to ensure that ongoing code will be executable. * e t; e, `: {6 X" H7 ^% K
