Hello & thanks again. I don't know if this is worth mentioning or not, personally I think it might be, considering I am pretty sure it's what gave me all of the default.bas.bin problems.
When I initially followed your step by step instructions, I was still getting the same problem. It's solved now & I believe the problem stemmed from the [settings] tab/option. When I deleted my old VbB folders, made new ones (I did everything EXACTLY as you wrote, even using the same folder/project names, locations, etc), ran the Configuration Wizard & restarted VbB, the problem was still happening. After some initial frustration (followed by some deep breathing exercises & "counting to 10"), I just happened to notice that under [settings], the "bB Compiler" & "ALT Batch File" paths were still pointing to their previous locations. I had just assumed (wrongly) that setting the paths in the the Configuration Wizard would take care of this. After making the proper path adjustments, everything worked perfectly. I know it's a syilly beginners/newbie mistake, but that's probably what many (or @ least some) new VbB users (myself included) are.
Anyway, under Step #3 or #4 (your choice), you may (or may not) want to make a note of this. IMO, if you did, it would cover pretty much any/every problem that would/could arise during VbB setup/installation & make for a perfect "VbB Setup Tutorial". I apologize if my suggestion/tip seems out of line or anything. Thanks again.
