Installation Packages [MM3]

Post by **jiri** » Wed May 02, 2007 6:03 am

I have created a description of how to create Installation Packages for MediaMonkey 3.0 here: http://www.mediamonkey.com/wiki/index.p ... n_Packages

I hope that it will simplify installation of scripts or skins, let me know if you have any problem with creation of your own packages.

Is it already supposed to work completely on MM3 Alpha 3?

Yes, it's already in MM 3.0 for some time, it just wasn't documented until now.

Is there anything we should know about skins? What do we need there, just the install.ini and uninstall.ini + the skin?

Clearification; The reason why I ask is because I get an error saying "Product Installation Error !!!"

That should work fine with skins, i.e. just place the skin, install.ini and uninstall.ini in a ZIP file, rename to MMIP and install. There can certainly be a bug as this is very little tested feature yet, in such a case please e-mail me the MMIP that doesn't work well.

Where is the scripting repository?

UpdateURL
URL where MM should look for updates of this product. If this key is missing, MM can still try to find out whether a new version has been released by asking MM web scripting repository using product ID above

Where is the scripting repository?

This is a planned part of MediaMonkey web - it should be online soon.

As for bug reported here - yes, there have been several problems found in alpha 3 and so not all installation scripts work well. This will be fixed in alpha 4.

I'm guessing that you don't need the [Execute] part for skinning.

Would that be correct?

Hmmm... I tried to make a skin MMIP but it had an error.

Could somebody please make a skinning extension template...

TIA

It will be fixed in Alpha 4. It's a bug with Alpha 3.

Alrighty, thanks

This functions with Alpha 4. Flawlessly.

Something I noticed with this for the wmp11 skin installer, if mediamonkey is configured to allow multiple instances, then clicking an .MMIP file will open a NEW instance instead of using an existing one.

This may not be a bug per se, however it is quite annoying behavior.

I would prefer that the MMIP automatically uses an existing instance or that it would prompt and ask which of any existing instance to use, or to open a new instance.

I'm trying to create my first MMIP for a script. How can I create ini file entries? I presume when the "Execute/File/Function" is run the SDB object will be available? Have you added methods to the SDBIniFile object for creating new sections and keys?
