Error: Invalid wavebank signature in header
Error: Invalid wavebank header (0x00000000)
which I assumed meant there was something wrong with the data files we were loading. But we also ran the app with the SDK sample media and produced the same result. We've also tried both memory-mapped data buffers and normal ReadFile with identical results. What gives?

That error code is XACTENGINE_E_INVALIDDATA, and is documented in the header file xact.h (along with all the XACT specific error codes).
There are several potential reasons you are getting this error, the most common two are:
1. You have invalid data :) Are you sure you are passing in a wavebank file to the method (*.xwb)?
2. You may have built the wrong version of the wavebank file. If you are using xact.exe, make sure your "view" is set appropriately (View menu -> Xbox 360 / Windows). If you are building with xactbld.exe (and building for Windows), make sure you use the /WIN32 flag.
Let me know if this helps.

I cannot run the XACT tool either, I have the August SDK installed. Ive tried reinstalling it but I still recieve an error when loading the xact.exe. It worked fine on previous sdk's but now it refuses to work.
"xact.exe - common language runtime debugging service
process id= thread id=
application has generated an exception that could not be handled"
any help appreciated
