The paths.txt file which contains additional search paths for plugins is not used by EigenD. It didn't exist (I think it did exist on John's Mac during the devcon). And when created, the paths don't appear in eigend.0.log. The full path that I'm using is e:\Users\Overmind\Documents\Eigenlabs\2.0.35-experimental\Global\paths.txt.

Also, I can't build the installer. Either the script cannot deal with spaces in file paths or I miss some dependencies. Here's the output from the build script:

scons: building terminated because of errors.

Btw, the required 3rd party tools (nsis, wix, ...) should be listed somewhere in the tools directory, ideally in an error message from scons.

Yes, I'll put in checks for NSIS and WiX and disable package building if they aren't there.

I think you must be using the wrong paths. 2.0.15 will drop a stub paths.txt when it first
runs, so if you had to create it, you are in the wrong place.

Looks like your package build is failing because nsis isn't where we expect it to be. Do
you have it installed?

Ill change the build to try and figure out where it is from the env. Or maybe there's a registry key somewhere.
