SOLVED: Load game editor error: Unable to load game editor

[Slasher]

Unable to load game for editing error.

I can open AGS editor when I click on the AGS program icon and resume / open game editor from there but I cannot open game editor from within the game folder itself.

Error Display

You must create and save a game first in the AGS Editor before you can use this engine.
If you have downloaded AGS, you are probably running the wrong executable.
Unable to find C://blah/blah/blah/blah/Game.agf

The game is in actual fact exactly where it says it can't find it.

Iv'e just noticed that this happens for EVERY GAME i try to open from within a game folder.

Any ideas?

cheers

EDIT Deleted AGS and re-installed. When in a games folder you right click 'Game' and select 'open with' you now get AGS for Windows option which was not there before. Anyhow, Opens in games folder fine now 

For reference: AGS 3.2.1

Strange....

Not strange at all, just a run of the mill pebkac.

You had Windows set to open Game.agf files with acwin.exe (the engine) instead of AGSEdit.exe (the editor). Re-installing AGS fixes that.
I suspect when you double-clicked a Game.agf file for the first time, and Windows let you choose the appropriate exe, you happened to pick the wrong one.

You are no doubt right Khris.

I'm not sure how that came to be. Anyhow, all solved now.

I'll have to remember that should I be in that situation again.

cheers

Just for reference:
One can easily fix a bad file association by right-clicking the file, clicking "Open with" -> "Choose Program", then selecting the correct program and checking "always open with selected program".
