Get debug info from exe?

Is there any way to get an error message back from a blitz exe, without building and running it from the IDE?

What kind of error message?
You mean debug info like what DebugLog outputs?

Sure, launch the "debug" exe from the command line and watch the debuglog output to the console.

Well it's crashing, probably because it's missing some media. It sounds obvious, but I never even considered launching the exe from a command line. Cheers, Brucey.

I think you could also run it as a process with Pub.FreeProcess. I believe that process will have some TPipeStream fields, where you should be able to retrieve everything which would have been on the debuglog.
