I don't think any of us got that working on the first try. It took me many tries and hours to get it set up properly. But with much persistense and 100 strands of hair later, I got it up. Did you try checking if the compiler created the executable? Rhide does the exact same thing with me (without the error) and all I do to test the compiled product is run the executable outside of the program. Try that out. Do a search for the filename.exe. If not, try something else :) Good Luck, Paul M.
