[QUOTE="fforde, post: 969161, member: 52082"] The error message indicates that the installer could not copy the files to their destination. When it runs stand alone the cause for this in the past to my knowledge has always been because the files are locked (i.e. MediaPortal is running and has the old DLL loaded in memory). So that is the reason for the error message, it's obviously a inaccurate in this situation though. If I were to speculate I'd say the Extension Installer is probably not elevating permissions for the NSIS installer when it executes it in some situations. And yes I am fairly certain this is caused by the Extension Installer. When you run the NSIS installer stand alone it [COLOR=#99cc00][B]works fine[/B][/COLOR], this is how Moving Pictures has been distributed for years. When you run the MPEI installer by [B]double clicking the MPE1 bundle in your file system[/B], everything [COLOR=#99cc00][B]works fine[/B][/COLOR]. When you run the installer [B]by beginning inside the Extension Installer UI[/B], it [COLOR=#ff0000][B]fails[/B][/COLOR]. The one thing I know for sure is that the embedded NSIS installer can not copy the Moving Pictures DLL to it's destination. As I said I suspect this has something to do with permissions. I posted here and I approached the MediaPortal team in IRC and offbyone spent a little bit of time looking at the problem, but I assume he didn't figure anything out because I never heard back from him. My current plan is to just convert everything over to a proper MPEI installer and ditch the embedded NSIS installer. I meant to have this done last weekend, but honestly I have been procrastinating on this because MPEI is really a huge pain in the ass to work with. So bottom line is I don't know exactly what's wrong, but I think it has to do with the MediaPortal Extension Installer. Based on the response on IRC and in this thread the MediaPortal team does not seem interested in assisting. So I will get a full MPEI installer published... when I have the time and the willpower to deal with MPEI again. [/QUOTE]
