Avanti 0.7.3 "system startup failed" on Win7 64bits

[live]

1/ I downloaded Avanti 0.7.3 and unzipped it in the "Program Files (x86)" folder.

2/ Then I added ffmpeg.exe, ffplay.exe and ffproble 32 bits static version 1.1.3 (march 2013) into the "Avanti-GUI-073" folder

3/ When I start Avanti-GUI.exe, none of the button on the GUI respond I have at the bottom a message "system startup failed".

Thanks for your help.

Try creating a folder outside any of the Program Files folders (for example, C:\Avanti) and install Avanti there. Alternately, if Win7 still has the Run As Administrator option, try running Avanti with that. (It'll be easier to just use the first method, though.)

Edit: Doesn't Avanti require ffmpeg.exe, ffplay. etc. be installed to the main Avanti folder?
Edit #2: I'll admit, I haven't used it in quite some time. On my setup, the ffmpeg binaries are stored in an 'ffmpeg' subfolder within the Avanti folder. It does look like Win7 and 8 users are having difficulty getting Avanti to work on their systems, though. You might try a few alternatives, like WinFF, or the portable version of XMedia Recode, among others.

Well done! It can happen . I will add some more instructions to the readme file in the next version.

Avanti doesn't need "ffprobe.exe". Saves you about 20mb of disk space.
