Maybe the gurus are reading this thread ... keep posting up, and maybe they'll build Milkdrops into the distribution package!! 8)

The truth is, I haven't updated all of my PCs to the latest version of Media Center because I don't want to disrupt Milkdrop. Building Milkdrop into the distribution would be great. Additionally, I have friends that still use Winamp only because they don't want to not have Milkdrop and installing it into Media Center is too daunting or time consuming for them.

Biggest problem seems to be that MC insists on creating and installing to a new directory with every version. Not sure why that happens, but it manages to break a lot of addons every time. So far, I've managed to keep my SoundSpectrum visualizations (Whitecap, G-Force, Aeon) working - all good stuff that sort of supports MC, but only the version that was active when I downloaded their installation packages. I got lucky there and was able to just shuffle a few DLLs to the new MC directory. Another is the iMon LCD display on my HTPC ... whole nuther thread on some of the hoops you have to jump through to get that working. That also goes fubar on a version upgrade and is like pulling teeth getting it to work again once it breaks.
And as mentioned earlier, I had a helluva time getting Milkdrops to work here. Good news is, it's been consistently stable since first fire. Ditto with the SoundSpectrum visualizations and the iMon LCD. I've abandoned all hope on getting some custom visualizations using the original MC workshop to work on the newer versions. I notice the workshop is gone from the menus, so I guess the support for it went away as well.

I finally installed MC22 today, heh. Naturally, I wanted my MilkDrop2 fix & thought I might as well make a little 'cheat sheet' on migrating MD2 to new Media Center version upgrades, in case anyone had trouble. I added it to the first post, but thought I'd put it here, too.

Let me know if I missed anything.

Got it working just in time for MC23 ... :-\
(Really starting to wonder about the number of version upgrades anymore. MC22 didn't even make it a year, did it? )
