>Does anyone have a workaround for this problem in 2.6.... whenever I run an 2.6 application on a machine with a cd-rom drive and a cd is not in the drive the app will bomb out... i've rebuilt the apps on a machine without a cd rom and this does solve the problem, but is a real pain.. does anyone have another workaroud for this??

Pls try Moving your application files in drive c: & recompile from there..
