Been trying to run the creator this morning ahead of my session.
Keep getting the error “managed return -1” when I try to run it.
Have removed all the messed up files as per the thread on “Failed to execute script manage” but it is still not starting.
Any thoughts?
Maybe you have deleted too much? Was it running flawlessly until today?
Try this:
Then try running again.
If the Creator successfully starts (creator a fresh database and everything), then yes, you’ve broken the data somehow…
If it still won’t start, then something else is wrong.
Let us know how you go.

Great success. That got it to open. I tried to transfer my samples into the new folder and got the same error again, so I would imagine one of the samples I had uploaded is causing a disconnect somewhere.
But it runs now! I’ll start again. Thank you Benjamin! 
Hurray! 
I just got this error a couple of times.
And simply tried to start a few times in a row, and now the Creator has started…
Interesting!
I’m getting this error too. Weird thing is, I haven’t started making any files or editing or anything. I generally start it and that’s it. I even tried an uninstall and reinstall. 
Maybe a matter of server load? It would be interesting to know, if there were a lots of accesses that may have lowered the server response time…
Hi all!
Just subscribed, just starting to use it and getting this “Fatal error” message. Not a good start to be sure.
Some way to fix this?
Thanks and kind regards
Hello Steve,
Many thanks for the info, nevertheless I had already tried this solution to no avail (not 100% sure I am doing it right). Several questions:
Thank you in advance for the support .
Kind regards
Could you give a description of your system? What OS are you using? Any special hardware?
HI @klemosda
I know it’s annoying to hear, but there are 1000s of people starting the Creator with no problems every day, so we are definitely looking for something unusual about your system.
Soooo… Tell us, your device, operating system, send us the logs, found here:
C:\Users[YOURUSERNAME]\AppData\Local\Syrinscape\Syrinscape SoundSet Creator
(you may need to set this “enable_server_logging = true” in the config first)
BUT ALSO:
We are actually setting the Creator up to work online (as a part of the Master/Minion dev). The interface will be in Browser hosted by our servers and the server will be… our server… so that’ll take a lot of the complexity off people running this pretty full on piece of software. (The Player will be a Minion anywhere… on the same PC or a phone or anything)
That’ll help too.
Hi Benjamin!
Thanks for the info and help. I attach you here both my system and the log, hope it helps:

OOOORRRR show an error… (mysterious) :-/
Maybe there’s a problem with the “Last Battle” Sample… was it HUUUUGE!?!
I have the same Managed Return -1 error.
This is my first installation, never used Syrinscape software before.
I tried to uninstall and reinstall. Same issue.
Please not that I don’t have a C:\Users[YOURUSERNAME]\AppData\Local\Syrinscape\ folder
On the other hand there is a C:\Users[YOURUSERNAME]\AppData\LocalLow\Syrinscape\Syrinscape SoundSet Creator folder that is empty
System is Windows 10
Still not fixed for me!
SO the “LocalLow” directory is the Syrinscape Player’s Cache.
Looks like something is stopping the Creator from writing anything at all to the admin directories.
Maybe run as admin and answer YES when you get asked for permissions?
Works at all?
