I promise I never mentioned the unlocker! BUt still...crash and burn

[Lindon]

So here's the oddest thing....

I've been looking into using the unlocker - with some guidance from Dan and Christoph, so I've been looking at bits of their example code and description, but as yet I have NOT written one line or set one definition anywhere in any project at all.. I promise I have not even started to implement anything...

Now I'm trying to compile an FX plugin - that compiled cleanly and was all ok , but now I'm getting these errors:

[Lindon]

@Lindon oh hang on I thought of one thing I did try out... creating and saving the RSA file.....

[Lindon]

@Lindon ....aaaand that was it - so if you put the xml file with your RSA key in the root of your project its gonna try and load the unlocker code.....even if you dont even mention it anywhere....
