Extension Installer V2 (1 Viewer)

[dukus]

Hope I understood you right: I supply an extra font for my skins that should go into Windows\Fonts.

Yes, i understood, on FontCopy i use a api call to register the font file, so the file not necessary should be located in Windows\Font

Another question: Which file extension to use for the generated extension - xmp or mpei or what?
Using xmp crashes the MPEInstaller, as well as MPEI.

In this question i don't have a answer , i think for the project file the extension should be xmp2 and for the installer package itself should be mpe2 , but i open for any suggestion ..

I think the extension xmp2 and mpe2 would lead one to the idea that these extensions refer to MP2, so we should use another extension. For testing purposes should be good, but for the final release (which would then be released with MP RC 1.x) we should stick to the extensions used for the actual MPEI.

Wow that is so cool! Worked flawless.

- Does it check if the new update is compatible with my skin? Maybe the skin needs update as well and update will make the plug-in not working?

 

[dukus]

Yes it is check, if all dependency met, and this before uninstall the older one, but not tiger automatically the update of the dependency.
If a skin isn't supported then a default skin file will be copied, specified plugin dev.

Just tried to test installer with my skin, got the following exception:

System.NullReferenceException: Der Objektverweis wurde nicht auf eine Objektinstanz festgelegt.

this error generated by a group used for visibility condition on a Wizard screen, but the group no longer exist. I next release i will check if exist such situation.

 

[dukus]

I work most in MpeInstaller.exe, a new tab was added were are displayed all know extension, if you do a update a new extension should shown.
Pls test it (download from first post and reinstall the youtube mpe1)

Hi dukus,

great work with the new installer... It would be great if the installer would copy the look&feel of the MediaPortal Install routine, the current look feels a bit dated imo.

Also if you add a folder and just copy/paste the path into the textbox (without using the "Browse" dialog) it will throw the exception:

System.ArgumentException: The path is not of a legal form.

Keep up the great work!
