Well, that is generally unknown with every software.

How about clicking on the checkbox in the build settings that says 
"install"? Afterwards you should add an install stepp in the deploy 
settings, and everything is as it was before-

Yes, we should remove the call to lockCreator()...

cause it. It's a simple file copying operation that on my Windows (7) 
machine results in the usual error message "failed to copy file" or 
something along these lines.
