PHPRunner General questions

I am unable to change themes in PHPRunner. When I change themes in the WYSIWYG editor it looks fine, when I build and upload it is the default theme.
I can manually change the templates on the server to use style2.css, style3.css, etc. But they just get reset if I have to rebuild the project.
I've tried deleting everything in the output folder, deleting everything on the web server, both to no effect. Every time I just get the default theme. Any suggestions?

Hi,
try to re-build project in another directory and re-upload it.
Also I recommend you to upgrade to PHPRunner 4.2:

At first I thought PHPRunner was using the stylesheets here: C:\Program Files\PHPRunner4.0\templates\styles

After further experimentation I noticed it does not use these at all, it only uses the stylesheets located at: C:\Program Files\PHPRunner4.0\source\include
As far as my understanding goes, the stylesheets from the templates folder never get copied over to the output\include folder when you build the project.
To change my themes I have been copying over the stylesheet information from the templates folder into the output folder manually, and it works after I rebuild and upload.
I'll post any other relevant information I find.

Note: using PHPRunner 4.0 Build 239

I'm seeing a similar issue in 4.2 build 379.
I've just deleted the contents of the output directory and rebuild but it's still using the old theme, I'll investigate after lunch.....

My issue was somewhat different, but I hope it helps somebody else.
Summary: files in the source directory in the phprunner program files cannot be read-only.
As I've made edits to fix various issues in the phprunner source tree I've placed the source tree under sourcesafe control, when checked in this makes the files read-only. If you build a project with these files as read-only it will not build correctly.
Not sure why, sounds a bit of a bug somewhere, but that's the issue.
