when trying to publish using sed (my game has no level to publish from) no mater where I put the winstart I get error 295 from the compiler and autobind skips acknex.wdf. btw using lite-c for the project. any ideas?

I think you need to publish from WED, not SED, because only WED creates the starter file (WDF) the engine needs for reading the window definiton.

created empty level, published from wed (sed has starter option too but...) checked starter option and resource and compile exe. same error. main file poe.c, level is poe.wmp, starter is in poe.wdl. starter code is:

also tried installing new copy of A7 pro in different directory. get error msg 288.289 or 295 window txt shows wdlc could not find window definition.

you mispelled COMMAND

typeo in the message only spelled right in .wdl file.

try this:

this (in compination of publishing from wed) worked. still can't publish with a starter from sed.

but I have a workable solution.
