Compilation Successful
Executing "C:\Program Files (x86)\Dark Basic Software\Dark Basic Professional\Projects\FaceDemo\FaceDemo.exe" (current directory is C:\Program Files (x86)\Dark Basic Software\Dark Basic Professional\Projects\FaceDemo\)

But nothing happened. I have windows 7 64 bit.

There are some issues with Windows 7 not allowing Darkbasic Pro to run right unless you run it in administrator mode.

Welcome to the forum!

Are you running the IDE in admin mode? If you're not, DBP won't have the permissions it needs to write to and execute from the Program Files (x86) directory. To do this, simply right click and click "run administrator" or go in to properties > compatibility and tick "run this program as an administrator".

Hope this helps.

EDIT: Grog beat me to it!
