Thanks Gregor, Yeah I planned to have a first run installation process (then leave a flag in EncryptedLocalStore), and I MUST install those assets into application directory, as the application have to load video/images/sounds natively but not with File references.
I need double check the problem you mentioned. It might not a problem for 'first run' but I have to make sure. Thanks for telling me that.
