    Hi
    I download the code regulary from svn and compile at home.
    The reason for this is that I have done some patches that suites me (and some other) but are not in the official release.

    Is there some way I can make my own update like "Nightly Builds SVN-Snapshot"-installer?

    As it is today, I must copy my whole compiled MP-directory to the installed MP-dir, and more or less start over with settings and stuff.

    It would be neat to be able to create a small installer instead,if this is possible.

    Can this be done without too much effort?

    I would like this as well. I am always downloading svn's though tortoiseSVN and it would be nice to know how you put it in an exe.

    I have a batch file to copy a build to my HTPC. It copies only what has changed and excludes some files.

    deploy.bat:
    Code:
    C:\Windows\System32\xcopy D:\Dev\MediaPortal\xbmc\bin\Release\*.* Z:\MediaPortal /E /Y /D /Exclude:D:\Dev\deploy_exclude.txt
    del Z:\MediaPortal\Skin\BlueTwo\packedgfx*.*

    deploy_exclude.txt:
    Code:
    PostBuild.bat
    database\
    log\
    packedgfx
    capturecards.xml
    MediaPortal.xml
    WebEPG\WebEPG.xml

    "Z:" is a share linked to my HTPC "C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal"

    OK
    So that's the way to go.

    It'll make things a bit easier. I will try this tonight, and it seems like a pretty nice solution instead of doing an exe-patch.

    Thanks for the tip. Glad someone could help at last ;-)
