1202(Orig 1177): installer error on MMHelper.dll [388]

[dypsis]

I am also having the MMHelper.dll error when trying to install MM v3.1.0.1247 (RC-2).

Remove <Drive>:\Program Files\MediaMonkey\MMHelper.dll!

It will get restored with the installation.

Simple and easy!

I got this bug for the first time today installing 3.1.1.1259. I had to manually go to the program files directory and remove the file myself before re-running the install. I was asked to invoke Admin privledges. MM has SO many issues with Admin/UAC functionality (i.e. not being able to install scripts or skins until you turn off UAC). I would love to see this fixed, even if the install required a reboot.

I have been having MM remain in memory (in my process list). Usually 2 or 3 versions, crashed I assume. I figured reinstalling it would fix the problem, so I ended all processes of MM, and ran into the MMHelper problem when trying to do this.

I ran ProcessExplorer and found that my error was Winamp running under Explorer.

Why? Well, I believe that this MMHelper.dll is what is used to communicate, you see, I had configured Winamp to be my default player (with a external sound card). It was buggy, so, its no surprise this had remained in memory for days.

For what it's worth. I just deleted the mmhelper.dll file and the install worked perfectly.

Hope that's helpful!

I'm stuck on this. TRied upgrading MM and I'm getting the MMHelper.dll error on the installation and now MM won't run.


C:\Program Files (x86)\MediaMonkey\MMHelper.dll

An error occurred while trying to rename a file in the destination directory:
MoveFile failed; code 183.
Cannot create a file when that file already exists.

Click Retry to try again, Ignore to skip this file (not recommended), or Abort to cancel installation.

Try to reinstall after restarting your PC.

I was able to load it successfully by unchecking the box regarding skins...
