But on pressing the Go Live button: the Quelea Focus Switcher window does appear, but PowerPoint isn't started and nothing is projected. I'm using the 64-bit version of MS Office 2010. There's no additional logging given in the Quelea CommandBox.

On 2018.1 stable PP is launched:

Tracked this down to some missing VBS scripts that weren't included after we switched to Gradle. This should be up and working again now.

PP does not run smoothly yet. Did a re-test with 3 PP's (they are in the zip):
test.pptx , theearthasaplanet.ppt , theearthasaplanet.pptx

pp_test.zip

Results:

Windows

2018.1-x64-windows:

test.pptx import: YES ; PP starts: YES
theearthasaplanet.ppt import: YES ; PP starts: YES
theearthasaplanet.pptx import: YES ; PP starts: YES

CI-UNSTABLE-x64-windows:

test.pptx import: YES ; PP starts: NO
theearthasaplanet.ppt import: NO (progress bar keeps running)
theearthasaplanet.pptx import: YES ; PP starts: NO

Cross platform

2018.1-crossplatform:

test.pptx import: YES ; PP starts: YES
theearthasaplanet.ppt import: YES ; PP starts: YES
theearthasaplanet.pptx import: YES ; PP starts: YES

CI-UNSTABLE-crossplatform:

test.pptx import: YES ; PP start: NO
theearthasaplanet.ppt import: YES ; PP start: NO
theearthasaplanet.pptx import: YES ; PP start: NO

I think this was due to me not including the above scripts in the installer. It seems to be ok for me, but it is a notoriously fragile piece. Could you check again? Thanks!

You can close this call, issue solved. (my test details are listed below)

Did a re-test with the 3 PP's in the zip:
test.pptx , theearthasaplanet.ppt , theearthasaplanet.pptx

CI-UNSTABLE-crossplatform:

test.pptx import: YES ; PP start: YES
theearthasaplanet.ppt import: YES ; PP start: YES
theearthasaplanet.pptx import: YES ; PP start: YES

**So pressing the Go Live button:

• PowerPoint is started
• The projection is started
• The Quelea Focus Switcher window does appear**
