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

Win7? ... Good luck

[Mnemonic]

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.

[cremen]

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\.

[cremen]

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)?

[Mnemonic]

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?

[cremen]

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.

[cremen]

ok, i solved.

my path to problem:
from win+R -> "c:\Program Files\WME DevKit\wme.exe" -project "c:\Documents\pinkTown Project\theGame\PinkTown.wpr"
it give me some error.
do magic
from win+R -> "c:\Program Files\WME DevKit\wme.exe" -project "c:\Documents\pinkTown\theGame\PinkTown.wpr"
its work!

Path to project file contain space symbol!!! That's all. removing it solved my problem.
Thankx for your time.

[Mnemonic]

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.

[cremen]

yes, i know. but... removing the space solved my problem.
