[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 1142060, member: 109222"] Hi. Here is my latest toy, MP2 Plugin Packager. It's in an very early state so bugs and errors are to be expected. This tool is for MP2 plugin devs, skin or theme designers or any other tool related to MediaPortal2. This very first version only generates installer packages for simple MP2 client plugins and skins. Others like themes, server plugins, multi plugins or tools are to follow later. Advanced options like adding extra shortcuts to StartMenu or desktop, setting registry entries, register services, fonts or filters and so on are also possible in an later version. And I hope I can include an internet update function too. The Plugin Dev selects the folder containing his compiled plugin binaries. It should have the final folder structure, same as the plugin will have when it is installed to MP2. MP2PluginPackager reads name and version from plugin.xml file (must be the new version with compatibility check, used for Summer'15 Release and later). Then it generates an installer package (.exe) with one mouse click. This installer the user only needs to execute for installing the plugin.
