UE 4.11 fails to generate the banks of the WwiseDemoGame

Hi,

I have followed the instructions from the Wwise Unreal Integration help, but the output in UE keeps showing this every time I try to generate any soundbank:

LogAk: Starting Wwise SoundBank generation with the following command line:
LogAk: C:\Program Files (x86)\Audiokinetic\Wwise v2015.1.6 build 5553\Authoring\x64\Release\bin\WwiseCLI.exe  "C:/Users/marti/Desktop/UE4_Integration-201603_Wwise_v2015.1.6_5553/WwiseDemoGame/UnrealWwiseDemo/UnrealDemo.wproj" -GenerateSoundBanks -Bank AmbientBank -Bank MatineeBank -Bank ReverbBank -Bank SwitchBank -Bank VelocityBank -ImportDefinitionFile "C:

Hi Martin,

Just wondering did you set the project path under project settings?

That may be your problem, just set both of those and it should work.

Hi Robert,

Thank you for your answer.
Yes, I did. Here are my settings:

Hmm are we still trying to get this to the demo game?

 If so the location is Wwise Demogame>UnrealWwiseDemo> UnrealDemo.wproj


Sorry just noticed the project name it is linked to.
If not it seems to me that your settings are correct if you're trying to link a new wwise project to a new unreal project. If you're still getting the errors I am unsure what your settings could be that they won't work. Sorry :(.

Yes, sorry, these are the settings for the Wwise DemoGame, which are the default ones I didn't touch I think:

So I get the same error message on every project. The weird thing is that on another machine, it works fine, although I don't really see what is different between each machine since the project (mine, not the Wwise DemoGame) is on Perforce and they both have the plugin installed the exact same way.

I will try a bit more to find what makes it work on the other machine and not on this one and will update this post if I find something.

Cheers,

Ok, my main machine still can't generate the banks directly in UE, so my workaround from now on is to generate the banks from Wwise to:
[UE Project's root]\Content\WwiseAudio\Windows
