Unable to add objects to collective!

Dear all, I'm trying to built a VST plugin from a simple Max patch.

I'm using MaxMSP 4.5.5 on Windows XP.

The errors that appears on Max Windows are like:

Starting Build for Emi.pat-build...
Processing script...
Copying Patcher lcj_out.pat
• error: Unable to add panel to collective!
Copying External panel
• error: Unable to add multislider to collective!
Copying External multiSlider
• error: Unable to add times~ to collective!
Copying External *~
• error: Unable to add ezdac~ to collective!
Copying External ezdac~
• error: Unable to add spectroscope~ to collective!
Copying External spectroscope~

...etc...

I checked any path, nothing seems to be wrong... For example, "panel" object is in the C:ProgrammiFile ComuniCycling' 74/max-startup (I'm using Windows XP in italian language).

It's really weird because if (stupid example) I built a collective from a patch with just a "panel" (and nothing else) everything works well, and Ableton Live is able to read it and use it.

Thank you very much,
Bruno

Just another thing: I just write a little patch with a plugin~ and a plugout~ and some tapein~ tapeout~, and it works as a vst too!

But when I add the "plugconfig" object, on max window appears the same errors as before, and ".dll" is not create.

Hey Bruno,

Could you please try 4.5.6? I have this vague memory of some path issues to do with non-English versions of Windows being sorted out recently.

Please let us know....

Cheers

Andrew
