%%%Actually, doesn't sound as addon failure. Are you sure you've got permissions to write to the directory you're saving runtime to?
Also, could be useful to know full backtrace (you can copy-paste it from console).%%%

%%%Make sure you can write to the locations you're selecting the runtime to be saved to. I could save fine on Windows 7 ultimate 64bit with current trunk.%%%

%%%Thnx for swift replies. Still not working in 64b release; I enclose jpg of full error report. I have tried same test ( same output file) in 2.59-32b release and it
works OK.
Hope I'm not wasting your time!%%%

%%%It's also important to know where you've got .blend file you opened in Blender and tries to save runtime for. Also, it's important to know in which location and which filename you're using for runtime.And did you try other locations to save runtime to? And did you try to save default scene as a runtime?%%%

%%%Hi Sergey:
The paths you request are:
.blend file - C:\Users\jim\BlenderFiles\Test1\standalonetest.blend
runtime file - standalonetest.exe

I don't think this is a permissions problem, as I have previously made this work (with an
earlier Blender version) using the same test and directories.

But I have some other info that might help. The sequence I followed was:

Unloaded Blender (i.e. Deleted C:\Program\Blender directory)
Re-installed Blender2.59 (using Windows 64-bit .exe install)
Opened Blender - loaded standalonetest file.

   (n.b Save as Game Engine Runtime loaded as default - presumably from a previously-set preferences file)

Export - Save as Runtime

       This worked - standalonetest.exe exported OK and worked OK

(With Blender still loaded) deleted file standalonetest.exe
Switched to Blender, retried Export - Save as Runtime

       Again, this worked - standalonetest.exe exported OK and worked OK

Closed Blender package
Opened Blender again, - loaded standalonetest file.
Export - Save as Runtime

       This crashed, giving error report as previously sent.

So it looks as if "Save as Runtime" works once, but then does not work again when Blender
is closed and re-opened.

Also, I did a similar test on Blender2.57(32b) and the same thing happened.

Hope this helps,%%%

%%%Could you test with a blender installed from the zip distribution too?%%%

%%%Nathan: Have installed from zip distribution and tested with standalonetest. First run did NOT work - gave error as per previous error report .

%%%I am trying a bit of self-help. I have had a look at game_engine_save_as_runtime.py and see that the error apparently
occurs when it is trying to write a temporary file:

line 101: bpy.ops.wm.save_as_mainfile(filepath=blend_path, compress=False, copy=True)

This gives a runtime error:
Can't open C__Users_jim_Blenderfiles_Test1_standalonetest_exe.blend for writing: Permission denied.

I know almost nothing about the Blender system (or Python). Can anyone tell me what directory this
temporary file is being written to?
I will then check to see if I have write permissions to that directory.%%%

%%%Reproduced.

Should be fixed in addons repo, svn revision 2327.
Thanks for the report, closing now.%%%
