Could not find launcher.cfg

Post by Bj »

I'm trying to get Yawcam to auto start using Windows scheduler and another "autostart" programs. With any of my setups does I always get the error msg: Could not find launcher.cfg. Please reinstall.

I have tried to reinstall, but still gets the same error. The launcher.cfg is in the Yawcam folder and I can start the program as normal directly on the exe file or my short cut.

Have tested to select both the exe file and the short cut but gets the same error every time.

I'm using this on a Windows 7 and an IP-cam, the reason for me to start this in an schedule is that the video stream from the Ip-cam freezes up and when that happens does I have to restart Yawcam to get the cam up and running again. This is running on an server that just streams video from Yawcam and for the time does I have to remote log in to manually restart the Yawcam due to that this server is remotely lookahead

Does anyone have an clue what I can do to resolve this?

You can't run it directly from the .exe, you should create a shortcut of it &
call this instead. Make sure that in the shortcut's properties, the field "Start
from" points to the directory where yawcam.exe is.
