MediaPortal.VC#Express.sln??? (1 Viewer)

[GizTVNewbie]

Hi guys,

can someone please tell me where I can find the solution file 'MediaPortal.VC#Express.sln' for VS VC# Express 2008?
And yes, I have already checked all out (from the MediaPortal SVN repo) and I can only find the 'MediaPortal.sln' file. And yes, I already searched in the forum for other threads but did not find a real answer. I just found the statement to use the 'Express' file. The problem is (as already mentioned) I cannot find it in the checked out sources.

in advance!

Hi everybody,

I was a bit out of time these days and could not matter about this. Now I have seen that nobody replies this post but got somehow some hits so I decided to post at this point the way of converting the "Visual Studio Solution File" to a "Visual Studio Express Solution File". I have found this on the following URL: How to convert a Visual Studio 2005 solution to Visual Studio 2005 Express Jim 2.0’s Blog

I hope this helps some of you that only have a Express Edition of Visual Studio but anyway want to build their own MediaPortal version.

Hi again,

I have created a VC# Express file to build MediaPortal and want to share this. Anyway I have a question. How can I build a "Installer-Version" of MediaPortal on my own? Everything seems to build without errors. But how to get a installer to install it on my HTPC-Machine?


Thanks in advance!

Hi again,

think i got it. You need to install Nullsoft Install System. Afterwards you can compile the ".nsi" files. Here you go to "X:\svnroot\mediaportal\trunk\Tools\InstallationScripts" where "X" is your drive. Here right-click on "DeployToolUnPacker.nsi" ("DeployToolUnPacker-x64.nsi" for 64-Bit systems) and then select "Compile NSIS Script".

However I get an error doing so. The problem seems to be that the path (or something else, do not fully uinderstand) is not valid. To solve this you have to set the environment variable "WINDOWS_SDK" pointing to your local Windows SDK installation (not the "bin" folder!). In my case this is "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\". Afterwards all should run without problems and an installable MediaPortal SVN build (located in the same folder as the "DeployToolUnPacker.nsi") should be created. In my case the file is named "MediaPortalSetup_1.1.0_SVN24580_2009-12-27-14-49.exe".


Cheers!
