Can't seem to launch a new project created off of hearts baseline

[JamIT42]

Hi there. I'm new to the forum and just starting my test tutorial.
1) I created a tutorial off of the "hearts" baseline, but am met with a "Failed opening required..." fatal error when I start the game. Same issue whether I use "Express Start" or invite players 1, 2, and 3. I've played with several of the configurations (real-time vs turn-based etc.) with the same result.
2) Thinking I may have missed a step, I deleted said project and created a second one, again using the "hearts" baseline. I was met with some Access restricted messages. Not surprisingly, the new game start suffered from same issues described in bullet #1.

I've attached screenshots of both issues in case that helps. For what its worth, I did play a game of the "hearts" baseline to make sure it was working and it seemed to play just fine.

I'd welcome any advice for others that started with "hearts".

Thanks,
JamIT

Note: I initially thought this was related to this topic (viewtopic.php?f=12&t=15167), but I was able to create and launch a blank project (i.e. not inherit from "hearts") successfully, so decided to create a new topic.

As an related FYI, I tried the same steps for reversi baseline and encountered the same issues. So doesn't seem relegated to hearts baseline.

I also came upon this thread (viewtopic.php?f=12&t=15142) which seems to imply I'm not alone in my issue and that the developers are looking into this larger systemmatic problem.

As such, I'll stand by. Perhaps my earlier attachments can provide some assistance.

Thanks,
