I created my own menu and launcher for my game, so I need to launch the standalone EXE file from my menu. My code for launching the game is the following (vb.net):



First I thought it had something to do with the focus (because I sometimes had problems when going out of a running executable game, and that would give me an error), but I am quite sure that the standalone I launch instantly gets focus when using the process.Start() method, so I don't think that is the problem. I also tried launching the executable using cmd:
start "" "path_to_file"
But that also gives me the same error (Runtime error 3002, no more information is supplied in the messagebox).


Has anyone else encountered this problem? Or does anyone know how I can fix this, or work around the problem?

I forgot to mention that when I just run it from Explorer it works perfectly fine...

Runtime error 3002 is a sound or music loading failure ..
If your using custom sounds or music check they have copied to your standalone folder ?
If they haven't then manually copy them across and see if that cures it

Thanks for the reply!

I did remove some unused audio files from the standalone folder, so I placed them back into the folder. I have no custom audio files for this standalone game so that could not be the problem.

After placing the audio files back into the folder I did not receive the runtime error anymore. Now the game just crashes (I get the standard Windows crash dialog, so no detailed error message...).
