Game launcher problem

RoadhawK:
Hi folks, when i launch Game launcher it comes up with the error "could not create logs directory"

I've edited the cfg files to point to mame.exe and that, run mamescan.exe and it still persists.
I also deleted the logs dir to let it create it's own dir but no luck. Any ideas?, running WinXP home if thats any help.

Tia.

I think I've heard of this before.  I don't know what the solution is, since it only occurs on XP and I don't run XP.  Could it be a permissions problem somewhere?  I know zilch about XP/NT/2000, sorry.

Try turning off debug mode? I find the logs useless anyway. Maybe that will solve it. I have been setting it up and its easy to miss a line thats not quite right. I run XP and haven't had this error though...

Note that mamescan is a separte program altogether and has nothing to do with the program while GL is actually running.

Logs are still created even with debug mode off.  The logs aren't meant to be useful to the end user, they're supposed to be useful to me. :)  Works well if someone is having a problem since I can just say "send me the logs" and I know what that person tried to do.

BTW, maybe using NTFS vs. FAT32 on XP causes issues?  Jets, which one are you using?

Correct.  Disregard mamescan until you get Game Launcher working.  It's more of an "advanced" configuration option.
