Is the project located in Program Files and User Account Control enabled in Windows?

I tested wme with win7 beta and it worked without any issues. Other issues than vista, that is. That's why I'm asking about UAC.

1. UAC disabled.
2. It is second instance of Windows 7 (i have two). At first instance all works good (and with enabled UAC too). At current instance - not.
3. Demo projects located in the Program Files, My project located at the c:\documents\pinktown\theGame\.

also:
1. Run WME as Admin don't solve problem.
2. Create new project at c:\users\...\Documents\WME projects\ don't solve problem

compiled exe run fine, except some strange things:
1. my project structure:
Data [primary package]
  some script, with Game.PlaySound( "sounds/gui/click.ogg" );           
  and other script, with Game.PlaySound( "sounds/steps/wood_step.ogg" );
Sounds [package]
  gui/click.ogg
  steps/wood_step.ogg
Video [Package]

ok. at the first instance (yep Windows 7, beta 7000), all sounds played good, all works fine.
but at second (current Windows) instance - some sounds won't to be played, and some sounds played good.
if i removed package name from sound path (like "sounds/gui/click.ogg" -> "gui/click.ogg") sound starts playing...

All this is looks like path determine error... not a User\Admin Rights\UAC settings bug.


Modified:
BUT (it is VERY strange) sound from Game.PlaySound( "sounds/steps/wood_step.ogg" ); played good!!! without any changing the sound file path... i have no idea WTF. may be more logs can help? is it present "more debug" version of the projectman (or engine)?

If the package structure is as you described it, then "gui/click.ogg" IS correct. "sounds/gui/click.ogg" is not. Package names should never be included in filenames.

Also, when the project doesn't start at all, is wme.log generated in the project directory? What does it contain?

ok, with sound's files my mistake. (but why it worked at first windows instance... hm, may be i missing something)

wme.log, generated only by compiled exe.

may be ProjectMan.log?

No log at all? I have no idea then. When you run the game from ProjectMan, it executes something like:

  path_to_wme\wme.exe -project path_to_project.wpr

It would seem in your case wme is unable to find the "path_to_project.wpr" for some reason.

It's weird though. As long as the parameter is enclosed in quotes (and it is), it shouldn't matter if there are spaces or not.
