Well, I'm somewhat unhappy when beta software shares a common set of
preferences with the production version through the registry and needs
installation. Anyway, I wasn't aware about that. No, I haven't reset any
preferences so far, but I will try and report back. I'll do a backup of
the registry key beforehand, just in case.

Title:
  Assistant / Align unable to run control point detector

Status in Hugin - Panorama Tools GUI:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I've used 2009.04 successfully on this machine, so intended to give the current 2010 beta a try. Alas, Assistant / Align doesn't work at all. I've installed and configured autopano-sift-c.exe (File/Preferences/Control Point Detectors displays the correct path), but it seems that the assistant isn't able to start any Control Point Detector at all.  The .exe isn't called at all.

Unfortunately, a Window displaying some messages is flashed up for only a very short time, so that I am unable to read more than a few words after trying for a few times. It may say something about Create Process failed/File not found, using a typical temporary file name like F:\temp\hamBA28.tmp (got this inspecting hugin.exe using procmon.exe, not by looking at the window). After the window is popped up and destroyed, another windows says "Error / Warning 2 unconnected image groups found [o] [1]". No control points have been detected, that is.

When creating a queue instead, I get the output 
process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, echo Finding control points..., ...) failed.
make (e=2): Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden.
make: *** [all] Error 2

when running the queue.  The German sentence says "System couldn't find that file".

After digging somewhat deeper, I noticed that hugin probably tries to run its own make on a temporary makefile.
After replacing make.exe by something which just stops and running
c:make_old -f ham35A4.tmp all 
in the temp directory, I get 

process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, echo Finding control points..., ...) failed.
make (e=2): Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden.
c:makeweg: *** [all] Error 2

which looks remarkably similar to what I believe to see flashing by in the aforementioned window.

"echo Findding control points" in CreateProcess looks suspicious, so I removed all @echo links in the
temporary makefile and try again:

F:\temp>c:makeweg -f ham35A4.tmp all
"c:/bin/Hugin_2010.4.0-beta2/bin/icpfind" -o "f:/temp/ha35A3.tmp" "f:/temp/ha35A3.tmp"
004E727C
c:makeweg: *** [all] Error 1

Well, I'm stuck.
