Error Loading Project

[brizeka]

I recently upgraded to v7, and now whenever I load ANY project I am receiving the following error:

Error loading information for action "Pcpwtext-Setup': Faled to open 'UserActions\bin\Pcpwtext-Setup.action': The system cannot find the path specified.

Any clues / suggestions?

The error message suggests that the registry value

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Kinook Software\Visual Build Professional 7\Actions\Pcpwtext-Setup\ConfigFile

has a value of

UserActions\bin\Pcpwtext-Setup.action

That value is not expected to be a relative path and is probably resulting in the error. If that path is relative to the project file location, it's possible that checking 'Tools | Application Options | General | Set current directory to project folder after loading or saving projects' will resolve the problem.

Another option would be to specify an absolute path for the registry value. For instance, if the value is initialized via a COM Register action, you can prefix the .action file path with %PROJDIR%.

That did it! (removed inactive registry entry)
