Register for Vista Game Explorer...

[Technocrat]

Occasionally, I get a message when compiling -

Unable to register for Vista Game Explorer: Unable to load the custom icon: EndUpdateResource failed

It has absolutely no impact on the game's compilation, but it has started to get rather annoying. Is there something I can do/shouldn't be doing to stop it happening?

So this only happens sometimes? Have you noticed any pattern to when it happens?

[Technocrat]

The only pattern I've been able to discern is it having started since I moved up to Windows 7 (didn't happen on Vista), and if I recompile it usually doesn't produce the same error again. I had a suspicion that it was to do with if I had the exe highlighted in the compiled folder when I recompiled it, but further tests seem to dispel that.

Interesting, thanks. Has anyone else seen this error at all?

The same thing started happenning to me after I upgraded to Windows 7.

I've seen this using 3.2 with XP.  I had checked the "make compatible with Game Explorer" box in general settings.  When I rebuilt my game it would sometimes come up with an error message, sometimes not.  When I unchecked the general settings box it would still give the error occasionally, but after I shut down the engine and reopened the game files it hasn't come back.
