Bank Generation fails Unreal 4.12 Wwise 2016.1.2_5863 (command line path is wrong)

Question

Fresh install of Windows 10, the same setup was working on Win 7 before.

First, when I activated the Wwise plugin in Unreal the Windows path for the Wwise exe was not there, I added it myself : C:/Program Files (x86)/Audiokinetic/Wwise 2016.1.2.5863/Authoring/x64/Release/bin

The path to get to the command line has  " Authoring\Win32\Release\bin " added to it.

 LogAk:Error: Failed to run Wwise command-line: C:\Program Files (x86)\Audiokinetic\Wwise 2016.1.2.5863\Authoring\x64\Release\bin\Authoring\Win32\Release\bin\WwiseCLI.exe

my default.ini :

[/Script/AkAudio.AkSettings]
MaxSimultaneousReverbVolumes=4
WwiseProjectPath=(FilePath="../../WwiseProjects/Unreal_Integration_Test/Unreal_Integration_Test.wproj")
WwiseWindowsInstallationPath=(Path="C:/Program Files (x86)/Audiokinetic/Wwise 2016.1.2.5863/Authoring/x64/Release/bin")
WwiseMacInstallationPath=(FilePath=)

Where can I change the path for the command line ?

Thanks

Hello, as shown in your error message, your path has an extra " Authoring\Win32\Release\bin ". This is because you have added the full path to WwiseCLI.exe folder while you actually just need to give the path of your Wwise installation folder (i.e. C:\Program Files (x86)\Audiokinetic\Wwise 2016.1.2.5863).

To correctly set this path, open your UE4 project, go to Edit > Project Settings > Plugins > Wwise and simply change the "Wwise Windows Installation path "  field to C:\Program Files (x86)\Audiokinetic\Wwise 2016.1.2.5863

Thanks Fabien, it's working. I thought I had to select the Wwise.exe folder.
