Projector.exe not working 8 levels from root

[xaphod webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

Hi,
I got a strange problem. I have an Projector.exe wich fails to execute. I get a Director Player Error: Unable to load movie playlist. Does the . INI file exist? It must contain a section '[Movies]' with an entry 'Movie01=Pathname.dir'.

The .exe is 8 levels deep down from C:\ in a folder. But if I move it up direct below C:\ it runs perfectly.

Please reply if you know something about this error!

regards /xaphod

Is the projector looking for .dir files taht are located in the root directory?

No,
but It is executing a second projector.exe in a subfolder.

The folder- and filestructure of the project is:
folder A:
start.exe - kind of a stub projector for QuicktimeTest.exe in subfolder B.
folder B - se below

folder B:
QuicktimeTest.exe - checks for QT and runs startApp.exe
StartApp - the main App, uses linked QT-movies from folder Media

folder Media:
QT-movies

in Lingo.ini
on startup
append(the searchpaths, the applicationPath & "folder A")
append(the searchpaths, the applicationPath & "folder B")
append(the searchpaths, the applicationPath & "Media")

end startup
