[QUOTE="civikdude, post: 19932, member: 12008"] [b]Media Portal CVS Installer[/b] I put together this little program to make the process of applying CVS builds from [url]http://www.myshare.de/mediaportal-cvs-download.php[/url] a bit more streamlined. It prompts you along the way with simple yes/no questions, with the default option in uppercase (i.e., "y/N", where you can just hit [i]Enter[/i] if you choose no). The zip file contains two files, the executable (.cmd) and the readme file. Just double-click the executable to get started. Please be aware that this utility will not automatically download the CVS file from myshare.de. You must still do this part manually. :( Unzip this utility to the same directory where you download/save the CVS files. Following is the text from the included readme file: [code]Requirements: 1) CVS INSTALLER must be executed from the computer running MediaPortal, although the install itself can be on another drive or network share. 2) CVS INSTALLER must be in the same directory as the CVS file. 3) The CVS file must remain compressed (.rar). 4) This program uses ZipGenius 5.x, which must already be installed on the MP computer (http://www.zipgenius.it). Note, ZipGenius 6.x is buggy and will not work with this installer! Download ZipGenius 5 at http://web.rossoalice.it/zipgenius/zg5/zg551std.exe Overview: 1) Finds the current installation path of MediaPortal (currently looks at default programs directory), prompts the user for the path if it cannot be located. 2) Finds the current installation path of ZipGenius (currently looks at default programs directory), prompts the user for the path if it cannot be located. 3) Finds all CVS files (mediaportal-cvs*) in the current directory (the directory containing this installer). Prompts the user to apply the latest one found, or to select an earlier one by typing it in. 4) Decompresses the selected CVS file to a subfolder of the same name in the current CVS directory, using ZipGenius. The version of ZipGenius is obtained in order to send the correct command. A status window will be displayed during the process. 5) Asks the user whether or not to save the CVS file as it is not needed beyond this point. Recommend retaining the file if the user ever plans to reapply the same CVS build. 6) Creates a full backup of the current MediaPortal installation to 'MediaPortal.Backup'. Only one backup is retained. User can choose to revert to this previous installation by manually deleting the current installation and renaming the backup directory. 7) Copies the newer CVS files (using date comparison) to the current MediaPortal installation. The number of files copied is displayed. 8) Asks the user whether or not to save the CVS directory that contains the unzipped files (see step 4). Acceptable to delete this directory. 9) Registers any necessary files, using the included start.bat utility. Safe to ignore any "file not found" messages. 10)Deletes any cached image files (packedgfx*) so that image updates will be applied during the next execution of MediaPortal. 11)Writes the current CVS build filename to 'cvs.txt' in the MediaPortal directory. MediaPortal CVS installation complete![/code] I hope someone else can get some usefulness out of this, as I have!
