It seems reasonably clear that your problem is with your PATH as well. If you post the content of your PATH, my guess is that it's easy to spot the problem. To list the PATH content, simply run from a cmd.exe shell:

Code: Select all

echo %path%

Think i got it fixed so dumb
C:\Program Files;
was C:\Program Files ;
Changed that and program starts up

Sorry for the double post but ran into a issue with ums again.

Socan sttream most things just fine but anytime i try to stream .flac on ps4 it has to transcode to send it but no file sounds proper. Sounds weird and garbled.
but if i select another song for a brief second before it startsthe next track it sounds proper
