[QUOTE="sa_ddam213, post: 1012082, member: 89205"] Can we install nugget packages without needing to install nugget dependencies, Or will plugins that need the ability to install on other PC's like MPDisplay still need to be separate from MPEM and just have there own installers? As for the difficulty of using the installer frameworks, That's what the MPEM creator is for. I getting confused as everyone seems to think they have to manage these installer frameworks themselves, The idea was to follow a simple wizard to create and publish plugins. I think I am missing the whole concept of MPEM. Perhaps someone can just make a decision and I can get started, I don't mind not using MPEM for my plugins as its installer may be to advanced for MPEM. And if we want a different package system for Skins I see no point of changing the current MPEI implementation for skins as these will always be installed on the MediaPortal box, so you won't need to worry about installing a program to run the installer. As long as we can make nice graphic UIs for the Nuget packages and they can install services/files without UAC interfering then that will be great and we won't need the MPEM UpdaterService at all, The user can just use MPEP to install, and plugins that are not compatible with the new installer system can just make their own NSIS installers. But on the Nuget side is out of my depth and I will need someone to help implement the wizard on the MPEM UI, as my early attemts never got passed windows UAC and I could not figure out how to install services with Nuget packages. If someone can point me to some example of how to do those things I can give my Nuget mockup another try. [/QUOTE]
