What I then end up with are 2 files????
resHacker is trying to be nice. Before it modifies your .exe it saves the original as a backup.
One called Directors' Duties_original.exe (with the old Director MX icon) and one caller Directors' Duties.exe (with my new icon). The trouble is, this latter file does not work.
Just to get a precise picture at this point: did you test the original file and it run molto bene?
When I double-click the exe to try to run the program, I get the error message:
Unable to load movie playlist. Does the .INI file exist? It must contain a section '[Movies]' with an entry 'Movie01=Pathname.dir'.
Well, the trouble with MM error alerts is, they don't necessarily point to the problem involved. This alert seems so precise about what is the nature of the problem, only no one understands why this should be - contrary to the alert's text it is best known to raise its ugly head in situations where the applicationpath is longer then 127 Byte, (described like this on www.updatestage.com (quirks).)
I ' ve seen it once in a situation where clearly length of pathname was not a possible problem. I rebuild the projector and it disappeared, mysteriously.
Some days ago Rob Wingate posted on the very same error msg: (RE: <lingo-l> Movie playlist, 19.02.04)
<quote> One of our clients saw this error just last week. I researched it and found it started appearing back in 2000. Back then, MACR's Jake Sapirstein said they'd look into it, but evidently it's still around.
It apparently may also be caused by:
* a conflict with RAMDoubler on Mac * user trying to run from a badly-replicated disc
Anyway, add the following lines to your MyProjectorName.ini (the Otto.ini file):
[Movies] Movie01=YourMainMovieName.dir
That will fix it. </quote>
I did not test his method, just posting it as an example that this lists archives may contain many more valuable infos re: this topic.
