#1 installer / installs to the wrong place?

[faebser]

hi,

i really appreciate your work by coding this plugin for winamp.

but i have a bug to report concering the installer.

At startup of the installer to detect winamp, in my case this succeds. the path is:

x:\software\Winamp5.5\

where my winamp is installed. the activewinamp plugin gets installed but it doesn't install the scripts.

the scripts get dropped into

application data/user/winamp/scripts

but this path is empty, only the scripts are there.

also i can't start any of the scripts with the context menue.

is there a log of the installer i can submit?

I somehow found the problem regarding the wrong install, if you have more then one winamp version installed, deinstall them first otherwise the installer gets confused ;)

you probably then get a errormessage that a registerykey is wrong. Add the following to your registry:
This is merely a workaround
(i'm not responsible for any damage done to your windows-installation by this changes)

In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\

Add the following Key: Winamp

in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Winamp

add a string with Name UninstallString and Value "C:\Path\to\your\Winamp\UninstWA.exe"

Now the install works. But i still it doesn't scrobble anything, but i'm able to add tags.
After Startup of Winamp i get the following error message "Line 491 The File can't be found"

Thanks for the excellent debugging trials. (Sorry I was away for almost all of the last 3 weeks.)

Yes, if you have more than 1 Winamp installations then probably the installer won't do the right things. That is because then it is next to impossible to figure out which paths Winamp would use for its profile and the program folders.

Your workaround should be OK to fix the problem. However, I don't understand, why there is an "error message that a registry key is wrong". Could you tell me where that occurs? In the AWAAS installer? Almost sounds like Winamp removes the wrong keys when uninstalling one of several versions on a machine.

Now, to your scrobbling issues:
If you get the line 491 error, then the ini file to the Winamp media library was not found. Could you tell me where that file "gen_ml.ini" is in your setup, i.e. the path? That would help me to try to get this fixed. Also please include the path to your Winamp program files and the path where the installer put the AWAAS scripts.
If you can tag files and can play the last.fm radio then there should be no "big" issue, once I find where those files are with respect to each other, I should be able to fix the issue.
Thanks for your help!
