CWB - What did I do wrong?

I saved my Production Project as a (CWB) bundle on my USB external 1 TB Toshiba hard drive and tried to open it using my Post Production box and it would not open it. Can someone please tell me what I did wrong? I thought that was the purpose of saving as a bundle all files were supposed to be linked/associated with the CWB project. My Production box is a Windows Vista Dell laptop running X1b and my Post Production box is a Windows 7 Dell laptop running X1b. Both laptops can read from the hard drive and both can run X1b successfully. The Win 7 laptop doesn’t seem to be able to read a CWB that was created by Windows Vista. It just can’t open it. How can I ensure that music/audio I have created on the Vista box can all be opened from the Windows 7 box in preparation for recording audio/vocals? Thanks for your help.

If you have any audio snap files in the CWB that could cause it not to be readable. Also V-Vocal is not supported in a CWB file.

At least that is what I understand. I could be very wrong.

Not supported, perhaps, but still should work.  Evefry few times I save, I save as a CWB, and vvocal comes back fine.

Cakewalk bundles are notorious for causing problems. Scott's book even mentions this.  After my first lost project using a bundle, I stopped using them..

Plus the fact that there doesn't seem anything gained by using bundles.

I normally save the finished project to a new folder which takes all the relevant audio with it and puts it in a sub-folder it leaves any accumulated dross behind, then any notes lyric and support material goes in the folder too then I zip/rar the whole thing up.  The space savings are phenomenal compared to a bundle.

I can simply wait until I am finished and save my project to a new folder and all the associated files will be in that new folder?

Yes, as long as you have set the project up to have its own audio file as a sub-folder in the project file.  It's really the only way to go.  The Bundle concept was never very good, and should've been scrapped years ago.
