Description
I downloaded the latest CVS Win32 Installer build (4/25/06). The new GUI menu starts up just fine (looks nice btw). However, when I try to 'start' any game, the program just exits without any messages/warnings. I switched back to the baseline build (0.8.2) and I can start the games as normal.
I've verified the paths, checked the options, everything looks in order -- for some reason, this build just exits.
My system: P4 3.4Ghz 2GB RAM, nvidia 6600GT. WinXP Home.
Hope this helps. MG

I reimplemented File::exists correctly. This should hopefully help with this issue, please give it a try :-).

My changes to File::exists were bogus. Of course the true problem was that base/main.cpp used File::exists to check for the presence of a directory specified through an absolute path.
Instead, base/main.cpp now correctly uses FilesystemNode, which fixes the issue, at least over here. Please give it a try.

ScummVM attempts to open a directory as a file, to check if the directory is valid, but this fails under Windows.
Assigning to _sev, who made that change.
