About Extensions Installer V2 + Wiki (1 Viewer)

[Dadeo]

A new Extensions Installer has been included as of MP 1.1.0

The Installer is called MPEInstaller, while the previous installer was called MPInstaller. The old installer is still included in MP 1.1.0 to install older extensions not using the new installer. Some users seem to need to set an association to enable the old installer to install .mpi files. Files for the new installer use the file extension .mpe1

The package to build an installer using V2 is called MPEMaker. It can be used for any extension: skin, plugin, logos etc.

For further information, please consult these Wiki pages:

MPEInstaller - to

To create a skin extension, Bleazle has started work on: Creating an MPE1 skin installer using the MediaPortal Extension Maker V2 This guide will be added to the Wiki when complete. Please provide feedback to Bleazle.

NOTE: There is also a new plugin to manage extensions within MediaPortal - see: Extensions Plugin for MpeInstaller
