zybex:
It's possible that it's whatever folder the .mjp is in, I didn't test on a different folder. For instance, if you download the mjp to the desktop and also have the zip file there, probably behaves the same way.
On mobile, can't test now.
EnglishTiger:
I just updated my copy of the skin with no problems but I was not using that skin during either the download or the install operations.
Since there was already a 877.mjp file in my downloads folder the new one was named 877 (1).mjp, clicking on that file invoked the install and MC immediately started using the new version of the skin.
I can't see why having a zip file for that skin anywhere on the PC could cause a problem the because the 877.mjp file is the only thing that gets downloaded, the installer uses a zip file that's on the MC servers.
zybex:
To use a ZIP from the server... MC needs to download it first. If you already have a ZIP with the same name (877.zip) then it won't download.
The problem is not related to the 877.mjp file; this file is a simple text file that just points to the ZIP which needs to be downloaded by MC.
EnglishTiger:
Zybex - I installed the original version exactly the same way as the new version and there is only 1 difference in the 2 mjp files, the one for the original version has this - <Version>1.0</Version> whilst the one for the new version has this - <Version>1.1</Version>
Therefore if the zip file did get downloaded, unless the install process cleans up after itself, the zip file for the 2nd install must have overwritten the zip file from the 1st one.
zybex:
If you read all my replies above, you'll see I mentioned that exact same difference. The URL to the ZIP file is the same.
The install process does cleanup after itself. EXCEPT when the zip file already exists (because I had downloaded it manually from this thread). In THAT case, and ONLY THAT case, the download is skipped and it uses the already-existing zip file.
I don't have many more different ways of explaining this...
You can do a simple test:
- create a file called 877.zip with anything inside - for instance, an MP3
- put it in the same folder as 877.mjp, and run the mjp file
- you'll note it doesn't ask you to install a component - it just does.
- check the Skins folder - you'll now have that MP3 there (possibly in 2 or 3 subfolders - Mini View, Theater View and Standard View)
MC doesn't care what's in the file, it just extracts it if it already exists.
