I did an RX today. I then did a PackNGo on the troublesome assembly. I opened the zip file created by PNG and saw nothing there. However, the file was 50Mb so I knew something was there. Then I got some crazy message saying that MSoft was protecting me from possibly dangerous files and to go into properties and check a button that wasn't there. I sent the RX file to the VAR as an attachment and there was nothing in it either. Has anybody seen anything like this before?

As a follow up I sent the same RX file to myself that I sent the VAR and that RX file had all files present and accounted for. I think the VAR was unaware that SW has two modes of capturing animation. One creates an AVI and the other creates a folder full of jpegs. I chose the jpeg method because it triggers on events and so a lot of empty recoding time is saved and you can zero in on the event that caused the problem.
I spoke to an IT pro about the zip file with invisible files and he said he had sometimes seen that in XP. Why Pack N Go would create such a thing is beyond me.

Two points:
1) The bug is with Windows. If you use Winzip or rar to unzip the file all the files are there. (The issue is with certain type of path names in windows)2) F> As a follow up I sent the same RX file to myself that I sent the VAR
Thanks Steve.
