When HD is launched I tell EventGhost to find the Huludesktop.exe window, bring it to the front, and maximize, and then on close I tell EG to close HD, find window XBMC.exe, and bring it to the front.
Does XBMC ever get stuck minimized? I used to try to keep it minimized and just switch, but sometimes XBMC would not return to full screen.

Read this before using these builds.
XBMC win32 SVN builds

After setup, when i run this i get an error "Windows could not open c:\Program". I've tried surrounding the path in quotes:

Quote:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<launchers>
<launcher>
<name>Play Bluray</name>
<application>"C:\Program Files (x86)\CyberLink\PowerDVD9\PowerDVD9.exe" </application>
<args> "d:"</args>
<rompath></rompath>
<romext></romext>
<thumb></thumb>
<wait>true</wait>
<roms>
</roms>
</launcher>
</launchers>

I'm on Win7. Any thoughts?

Try using 8.3 shortname for program files .. ie .. progra~1.

The normal XBMC log IS NOT a debug log, to enable debug logging you must toggle it on under XBMC Settings - System or in advancedsettings.xml. Use XBMC Debug Log Addon to retrieve it.

Instead of C:\Program Files (x86) try C:\progra~2

Can anyone confirm if this is still the best way to accomplish this with the release of Dharma or if there is a more effective way?
