[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1274601, member: 141969"] In Windows, there are associations between file extensions and the programs that process files with those extensions. For example, there might be an association between files with the extension "TXT" and the program "Notepad.exe". If you type "name.ext" on the command line, Windows looks in its definitions to find the corresponding program, and then invokes that program for you. On my HTPC, the file extension "MPE1" has an association that causes Windows to invoke the MPE Installer. So simply by typing the name plus file extension on the command line and pressing ENTER results in the MP extension being installed. Type: "SchedulesDirectPlugin-1.11.0.3_unofficial.mpe1" Notice that the string typed is enclosed in double-quotes. This is mandatory for filespecs containing blanks or other special characters, although in this case they are not necessary. If the file is not in the current folder, you need to type the drive and path too. If you do not normally use the command line, a simpler way is to use "Windows Explorer" to navigate to the folder containing the file, right click the file, and select "Run as Administrator". I am not actually sure that running as the administrator is necessary, but it won't do any harm, and it might do some good. The association for MPE1 should be created when you install MP. If you are missing this extension, it suggests that there was an error with the installation of MP. You can use the ASSOC command to review the associations defined on your system. On the command line type: assoc >assoc.txt This will produce a file called "assoc.txt" which you can look at to see what associations you have. I have just tried this on my Windows XP system, and I have 775 associations defined. :eek: -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
