[Xerte-dev] Re: Preparation of XOT and Xerte test installs

Wed Apr 4 15:32:26 BST 2012

Try now,

I thought I had edited that data out, not sure how it escaped!

I have updated the .rlo file and tested the set in a new Xerte project.
There should be one blank page in the project.

If the connector pages still do not show I am not sure why that might be as
to my knowledge what is offered is based on what is in the Wizard folder,
and correct references in the xwd menus property.

It might indicate that something that governs the functioning of Xerte.exe
has not been updated.

Kind regards

Johnathan
