That’s odd. All it does it call `File::startAsProcess()` on the `DemoRunner.xcodeproj` file. Are you able to open that file manually?

I got a solution from Fabian at [info@juce.com](mailto:info@juce.com) “If you are compiling the Projucer yourself, then you also first need to build the DemoRunner project in examples.”

I opened the example projucer for demo runner and build it in my IDE.
