scenario editor won't run

A new scenario/battle editor is in development and should be following hot on the heels of Waterloo - any questions can go here.

Its not quite right.
whole SDK folder goes in the game folder, and editor is a sub directory.

Edit:
One more thing, as you seem to have installed in Program Files, which is a really bad idea, you will have to run absolutely everything as Administrator.

yes, I saw. ;)
Its a system folder and anything installed there is always going to have problems with permissions and access rights.
Really, really, really a good idea to install software outside of Program Files/Program Files (x86).

But its ok with Admin rights generally.

Can you start the editor when its installed in the the path I showed? If not I can't help.

I have moved the whole Steam folder which includes SOW out of Program files but still the same problem. I have installed it directly into the SOW main folder but still the same. Any help would be appreciated

The scenario editor log is generated, does it contain something?

Same place as the main log file, in documents/SOWWL.
File is named ScenarioEditor.log and can be viewed with any text editor, even notepad.

Fromt the lego it seems the problem is this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Scourge of War Waterloo\Mods\Russian Maps WL\Logistics\gfx.csv; try to move out this mods temporarly from the mod directory and restart the scenario editor
