1.25.0 5031: Error on Install. (1 Viewer)

[joecrow]

MP1 Version

Describe the Problem you encounter as detailed as possible! "It does not work" won't help the team to understand the problem.
Description:
An error occurred during install, please see attached screenshot. After pressing the error notification OK button multiple times (same error each time) the install then ran to completion and so far all major items seem to be OK. The shortcuts I had setup in 1.25pre using the MultiShortcut plug-in are no longer working though,as the changes I made to BasicHomeEditorDefines.xml to support them, have been over written. Could that be the problem?
I like the new installer GUI, nice one.





Describe as detailed as possible the steps that are required to encounter the issue. This info is critical for the team to understand the problem.
Steps to Reproduce:
Run MP 1.25 Install, Win 10 pro x64 (1909) fully up to date.

This is an old mistake that sometimes occurs and sometimes does not occur, and we cannot catch it, most often it occurs when registering fonts. But this error does not affect the installation and should not interfere with the subsequent operation of the Media Portal.

I think this line show this error - MediaPortal/MediaPortal-1
Maybe need remove this, and add error line to log file (how?) Or change text like "Font installation error: bla-bla-bla - Keep calm and enjoy using the Media Portal."

Well, that´s the normal behaviour
If you change your personalized BasicHomeEditorDefines.xml, you should always backup it before installing new version

Or make custom theme with changed files i think...

I don´t recommend this with respect to BasicHomeEditorDefines.xml - could lead to severe display problems

May be better change this line to:

${LOG_TEXT} "ERROR" "Font installation: $R2 - ${FontFileName}"

I wonder if it should be an error message - as far as it seems the fonts are installed correctly?

I tried to remove the font before installing it in one of the old versions (on which this error was almost constant) and it disappeared, and I made conclusions for myself (maybe not true) that when the font is already installed on the system, it sometimes occurs and sometimes not .
If the font is not installed and this error has occurred, it is bad, if installed and it has arisen, this can be ignored. It is necessary either to change the installation procedure (which may lead to other problems) or to output this error to the log file, or not to do anything and from time to time we will receive feedback that it exists (which, it seems to me, is not very good).

Nice analysis, Andrew
