Could not find launcher.cfg - Help
Could not find launcher.cfg - Help
Hi,
I am trying to run the YamCam programs within power point, however when I try to run it I get the error message "Could not find launcher.cfg. Please reinstall.... " . The .cfg file is in the same directory as the Yamcam.exe. Is microsoft looking somewhere else? or is it me?
Help
Thanks
Rob

RE: Could not find launcher.cfg - Help
I have been running Yawcam for over a year and just this past week have been getting the same "Could not find launcher.cfg Please restart application" when I check my computer in the morning. Yawcam appears to still be running fine after the message occurs.
To overcome issues with ftp to Weather Underground I have recently started Windows Task Scheduler to stop Yawcam after 1435 min (23 hrs 55 min) running and restart 5 minutes later so that I have a restart once a day (6:00 am). This has been working fine but just recently getting this launcher.cfg error popup. Don't know how I would incorporate the Yawcam shortcut as suggested by memoric (I have the Yawcam shortcut on my desktop).
Oh, one other thing, this started after I had to shut down my computer by cutting power as my monitor had failed. But Yawcam, like all other programs, started ok after a computer restart.
Any further suggestions on how to overcome the error popup?
Thanks,
Paul

A small clarification to the post above
I get this error when I try to launch the executable with the PsExec from remote pc, everything works perfect if you
launch on a PC where it is installed.
There is another way to boot Yawcam from another PC ?
P.S.
I want to make sincere congratulations to the author,
more I use this software and more I realize that it's great.

To define the working directory at psexec you should use the -w switch.
So, if yawcam is installed in "C:\Programs\Yawcam", you must give the
following command:

I just had to add the user and password to execute the command correctly.
Code: Select all
psexec \\computer_name -u user -p password -w "C:\Program Files\Yawcam" "C:\Program files\Yawcam\Yawcam.exe"
Code: Select all
pskill \\computer_name -u user -p password javaw.exe
Thanks again memoric and z3r0c00l12
