[QUOTE="Edalex, post: 1091740, member: 63839"] Hi guys! I just want to tell that continuing idea of MPEM [url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/categories/mediaportal-extension-manager-mpem.655/[/url] and discussions of future of MPEI and its limitation with UAC I did some coding to make simple windows service for managing extensions. It's still in pre-pre-alpha stage. Source code is here [url]https://code.google.com/p/mpeiservice/source/browse/[/url] It is using WCF communication protocol based on named pipes. Current features are: - install plugin by ID and version - uninstall plugin by ID - update known extensions list. It's my very first look in WCF so don't expect any masterpiece in code. :D Next to sources of service itself you can see little test client which can connect to service and install/uninstall plugins (Need VS compiling skills) I compiled service so at least you could test if it could be installed :D [url]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7658963/MPEIService.zip[/url] Service installation: - Unpack service to your MP directory in Program Files. - Open cmd.exe with admin rights - Change directory to mp's and execute command "MPEIService.exe -install" (or -uninstall to delete service) To test service you could run step by step debuggin with test client or probably use slightly changed MPEInstaller.exe from here [url]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7658963/MpeInstaller.zip[/url] Since error handling is almost missing it could fail accidently i.e. if you want to install plugin unknown to service. Known bugs/ not yet implemented features: - it can't get new extension list from mp site yet - all mp processes should be closed to install/uninstall extensions. - service only know how to install actual files and don't perform other installation actions (scripts, consecutive extension installs etc) since I'm still investigating this part of mpei - I compiled all files against MP 1.3 so assuming most of you are using later version it could failed to work Have fun and post comments :D [/QUOTE]
