[fixed] deploy tool crashes on mpaudioswitcher.ax (1 Viewer)

[cheezey]

I've tried to find the section of the installer where this filter is registered. I don't want to degenerate too much into wild speculation, but what if this problem is not specific to MPaudioswitcher.ax, but it is flagged up because this is the first one that tries to be registered? I am happy to post the other .ax files from my MP install, in case the relevant people want to test them.

As I understand it some users have worked around the install issue by using an old mpaudioswitcher.ax file and building their own installer. It would be nice if someone could say if this has been done successfully on an affected system.

I can confirm I have built my own installer with the version of MPAudioSwitcher contained in post 17 and used it to successfully install MP 1.2 on an XP machine on which the MP 1.2 Beta install failed.

This evening I will try to register the filters posted in post 90. I will also try and get a crash dump.

Have tested all filters of post #90. Only the registration of mpaudioswitscher fails.

Creating a dump didn't work (see screenshot). I get the error message something like "Can't find adplus .... ". Perhaps you can give me more information how to do it.

I get the same mpaudioswitcher.ax error, and won't install.

This is on XP SP3. None of the .ax files posted fixed the error.

My win "7" PC worked, no error when installing beta, Didn't need the extra .ax files posted.

I guess I'll just put this install on hold, until a fix for this beta version is available. Oh well......

Did you run the following before adplus?

pushd "%ProgramFiles%\Debugging Tools for Windows (x86)\"

If you did, you current directory should be something like C:\Program Files\Debugging Tools for Windows (x86), but it is C:\debug

Also you have not supplied the full pathname to MPAudioSwitcher (in your case that would be: C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\MPAudioSwitcher.ax) and you have to enclose it in quotes (") because the path contains spaces.

Didn't get it working. The Link for the debbuging tools in the wiki doesn't work. So I searched the microsoft homepage and downloaded somethinmg called dbgnetfx.exe. It's only a zip whitout any installer. perhaps someone could post the correct link.

I really hope this beta install problem gets ironed out soon. I like to install the beta with all the extra goodies in it.

I wish I could help in some way, but I'll just leave it to you guru devs.

I'll nose around in about a month to see if any change. Thanks.........

Sorry, I didn't try the link, I thought it was working

Here is the link to the latest version:
Debugging Tools for Windows 32-bit Version

It is a Web installer for the latest WinSDK. You have to deselect everything and select Debugging Tools under Common Utilities

arion_p - the debug MPAudioSwitcher you supplied in post 89 actually registers successfully. Do you still want a crash dump of this?

There's no point - there will be nothing there to see

I will try to build a release version with symbols.
