Title: 11.49 to 11.51 issues
Post by: paulr on August 05, 2004, 06:27:56 pm

During install, the installer hangs at the prompt to add icons to the desktop, but only after it adds an icon to the desktop.  Then every time I try to run MC, it tells me to run it once with Power User or Admin rights so that it will run under guest priveleges.  I am running as Administrator, so this shouldn't be an issue.

MC was installing fine until version 11.49.  The only change I've made to my computer is removing a hard disk, then adding another hard disk (neither of which MC was using for anything).  I made this change late last night after, I think, 11.49 was installed.

my installer hangs too, but only for about 30 secs, try waiting and see what happens. I didn't get this before 49.

Yea, I left it alone for about 15 minutes and it never completed.  I installed 49 twice, 50 twice and 51 once.  All 5 times I let it go from 3 minutes to 15 minutes with no luck.

I think it's the same problem in both cases.

For some reason running:

[MC Path]\mcmimeman.exe /Register is failing on your machine.

Could you try running it by hand with the /Register (or /Unregister) switches and see what happens?

Are you on a domain that could be limiting registry access?

Thanks!

Matt, I just opened a command prompt and was able to /register and /unregister mcmimeman.exe without any problems.

I am not on a domain, just simple networking.

One thing I noticed is that "Media Jukebox.exe" is running in the task manager after the installer hangs and I force it to close.

Should I uninstall and re-install?

After it's registered, this registry key should have the path to mcmimeman.exe in the (Default) value:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{C83171F2-7FE3-4C83-87A5-183013B089FE}\LocalServer32

Does it look like that's working?

If not, can you manually create a HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{C83171F2-7FE3-4C83-87A5-183013B089FE} key, or is there a permission problem?

Thanks.

I just checked and that key is there, with the default value pointing to "C:\Program Files\J River\Media Center 11\mcmimeman.exe".  I changed it, then changed it back to check permissions and it allowed me to do it without complaint.

sorry, haven't had time to try what you are suggesting Matt. My installation does finish with no errors, it just takes a while.

I uninstalled and reinstalled.  I am still seeing the same issues.  Any other suggestions?

It's becoming so annoying, I am considering reverting to version 10.

Clear your temp files.  IE / Tools/Internet options/Temporary Internet Files/Delete.

Empty your garbage.

Security settings too high?

Could you export HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{C83171F2-7FE3-4C83-87A5-183013B089FE} to a .reg file and email it to matt @ jriver.com?

Thanks.

Try 11.0.152 if you haven't.

It wasn't handling cases where the registry had a short pathname in it.

I don't use IE except for Windows Update, but I'll empty the temp files anyway.

My security settings haven't changed.  The only thing I have done recently is install SP2 for XP, but I was running it before I ran into this issue.

I didn't get an email.

Make sure you cut out the spaces. (matt @ jriver.com)

Thanks.

Hmm..  I removed the spaces.  Could it be a problem with a .reg file being sent?  Want me to resend it zipped up?

It'll be fixed next build.

Thanks for all the help Paul.
