Topic: Problem starting SVP

Hi

I just installed SVP 3.1.6, configured PotPlayer, but when I open a video,
I get the error:
 
Import: couldn't open "C:\Program Data\SVP 3.1\AVS\ffdshow.avs"
(ffdshow_filter_avisynth_script, line 4)

The AVS folder is empty. The file ffdshow.avs is missing.

What I am doing wrong?

Thanks for help.

Karel

Open SVPMgr, Open any video to get the error. After that go to SVP tray menu - Information - Last launch log. Copy it here.

Re: Problem starting SVP

The error stays even if I disable AV.

The problem is, that the file "C:\ProgramData\SVP 3.1\AVS\ffdshow.avs" cannot be opened, because the file doesn't exist  (the dir "C:\ProgramData\SVP 3.1\AVS\" is empty).

I think SVPMgr have not rights to write to this folder.
Try to run once SVPMgr with admin rights. If it does not help then reinstall SVP. It will change the rights to folder.
Do it with AV disabled.

Re: Problem starting SVP

SOLVED

The problem was, that the Widows Script Host was disabled.  After I enabled it in the registry, everything works fine.

To avoid this problem you should test it during Setup and if disabled inform the user and offer him an option to enable it or at least state it in the log file.

Thanks for help
