I am currently working on an installer for FPSC and I have a strange issue. My installer uses WSH script to create a program shortcut to the newly installed FPSC Game executable. The shortcuts seem to be correct and point to the appropriate folder and file, but when I use the shortcut I get the following error.

Init Error: Genre Unknown

This is an FPSC error as seen here in the source code...



If I click directly on the executable, the game runs normally. FPSC only responds this way when using the shortcut. Can anyone shine more light on this issue?

Brian.

Yeah I had the same problem with vishnu products its because fpsc can't find the other files in the dir folder.

The way I worked around this was to make my app pick the working folder fpsc is in.

For example I had to set the folder as the current folder the app is working from.

This is in lua code :-

Folder.SetCurrent(_EXEFolder.."\\Data\\");

Data is where fpsc.exe would be stored.

Hope this helps

Thanks for the help s4. I hope all is well with you. The issue was the "Start in" location of the shortcut. You would think that it would stat where it was, but no.

Anyway, issue resolved. Thanks and this can be locked.

Brian.

I just sent a Beta out to my partner in crime. Once he does the initial check and I write a basic manual I'll send it to you for more testing/suggestions/comments/etc.
