Question: After testing i disabled the AmbiLight plugin, but every time i start MP Config, it starts AtmoWin and loads the Dummy window.
Why is that happening?

Oh, then i misunderstood...

Well, i think i understand why the problem occurs, because MP loads all .dlls on opening config, even when the plugin is disabled. There is nothing we can do about that.
While i like a check for a running AtmoWin proces, this is pretty annoying. Can't we remove the AtmoWin init from the plugin and let the user handle that responsibility? I think we can assume that if someone builds this themself, he/she understands the need for the AtmoWin software.
Same goes with the AtmoWin MPEI. I want to define a path, because i don't want AtmoWin to be installed in my ProgramData folder.

@HomeY There is nothing we can do about that.

why not?
initialized Com Interface properly then all should work. (Without start AtmoWin allways)

only you can nothing do on it
you has not the last source this is a Problem.

@HomeY I want to define a path

Should be a Problem with UAC then if your use other Path for this..

create a new thread for this tree Problem where you want.

Remember i'm no dev

Do you say this is a MediaPortal problem? Please help me understand
Or does the plugin need an update?

no a plugin Problem..
the Plugin should initialize the Com Interface without call it direct.

and when the initialize the plugin itself must first be examined whether it is enabled or not

Any Info for @angie05
if you check for the Interface direct without start AtmoWin before then this Error allways appears.

[2014-02-13 05:14:37,056] [Config ] [Config Main] [ERROR] - atmolight: exception= Ungültige Klassenzeichenfolge (Ausnahme von HRESULT: 0x800401F3 (CO_E_CLASSSTRING))

Your should also check for the Process and NOT for the Process over the Com Object if not Initialized before.
do it with createtoolhelp32snapshot

EDIT:
@angie05

Wenn du nicht mehr daran arbeiten möchtest warum auch immer
Kannst du dann bitte den letzten Quelltext veröffentlichen?
Damit ich die anstehenden Probleme beseitigen kann?

Here you can load a testversion for all the mistake.
