Maybe try removing the space in the .exe name?
BINGO !

Hi all, maybe a little late on this, but I ran into the same problem with LC 6.7. For some reason when I updated from LC 6.6.2 (working from from memory here), the 6.6.2 path entries were left in the Registry.

Search through the registry and correct all entries (.rev & .livecode associations) to point to the correct directory and all works fine. Or at least it did for me :)

Cheers,
Dean

I had the same problem (windows 7 Home Premium, Service pack 1).
On another computer it worked fine. The Windows registry-'s where different.
I made the next .reg file:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\LiveCodeStack]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\LiveCodeStack\DefaultIcon]
@="C:\\Program Files\\RunRev\\LiveCode 7.0.4 (rc 1)\\LiveCode.exe,1"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\LiveCodeStack\Shell]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\LiveCodeStack\Shell\Open]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\LiveCodeStack\Shell\Open\Command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\RunRev\\LiveCode 7.0.4 (rc 1)\\LiveCode.exe\" \"%1\""

I run it on the computer with the problem. Used "Open with...." (right mouse click). I choosed Livecode and all works fine now.

Regards, Peter
