Using the Stack Runner - architect

Hi Everyone using LC: I've just decided that one of my projects is best suited for using as a Stack rather than creating a Standalone. It will be used only by me and my buddies on our Intel Macs, created using LC 4.5.2. Is there even a Stack Runner available for that version? The only version I
