Hi Jim
<i><font color="#663300">BY - Did you use newapp or qstart to start a project?</font>
<font color = "#003366">JH - Yes to both.</font></i>
It makes a difference which one you use. Qstart will create a project that is compatible with 3.x, but not compatible with 6.1. Newapp was written to create a project compatible with 6.1.
<i><font color="#663300">As far as I can tell, there is no documentation that you have to include the Security folder even if you don't use security nor that you have to ZAP the dbpaths files before distribution.</font></i>
You don't have to include the Security folder or anything about security in your app. I removed the security stuff from my template project over a year ago. The dbPaths table is for the developer to specify additional search paths where the app might have to look for additional data or metadata. I have never had any reason to ZAP it. After I took security out of the project, the security path info was in several of the dbPaths tables lying around on user machines with no problem.

It's a shame you had this experience. It is quite different than mine. A number of the fixes in 6.1 solved problems that had been causing me problems for quite a while.
<i><font color="#663300">It runs fine under the development environment.</i></font>
<BG>It always does. That's why I always test the compiled app on a non-development machine before I attempt to deploy it.
