Unable to find VLC - only if started from a batch file

Hello:

Trying to run a slideshow via a batch file (or even the command line). When starting gphotoshow via shortcut it works fine, but starting with a command line "gphotoshow /s..." it gets "unable to find vlc media player". Seems like a bug/environment issue? I've installed the vlc 3.0.6 64 bit version. I've tested this on the 8.0.3 version and also 7.4.10

A minor update - the problem only exists with the 64 bit/8.0.3 combo. The problem I had with 7.4.10 was because I had vlc 64 bit which is incompatible

OK I solved this - the 8.0.3 also migrates to the 64 bit version which is in program files - I did not uninstall 7.4.10 which caused the confusion.

Hello,
gPhotoShow Pro v8.x has been released both as 32 and 64 bit, the 64bit version can be installed together with the 32 bit since installation path and names are different. Each version can only detect and use the corresponding VLC version, if you run the 64 bit version of gPhotoShow you must have installed the 64 bit version of VLC.
