Title: V 8 Plug-in trouble
Post by: Brian on June 13, 2002, 06:22:18 pm

I am trying to install plug-ins in a reg. version of MJ 8, but none are installed. The download and I get the message that the "package was succefully installed" but none of them show up in the plug-in manager or anywhere on my HD. Am I doing something wrong? It seems like it's a pretty straight forward operation.

Make sure you have the latest version 8.0.293. That used to happen to me and I fixed altering the registry. If you know how to play with the registry, go to where MJ keeps the settings and check the other working plugins and change the non-working plugins settings according to the diference between the two. If I remember correctly I fix it changing the binary data of the string value "version".

Good advice but didn't work. The plug-ins are not even making it to my HD (even though MJ says the packet has been installed). Can I DL the .dll files from somewhere and bypass the package installer? Thanks for the help. Any other suggestions?

Try using IE.

I'm using IE. Still can't install ANY plug-ins. Is there a support staff that can be contacted for help? Thanks.

Do you have any kind of popup stopper or similar software installed?. Disable it.

If you can't get to the bottom of this, you can bypass the package installer and do it manually if you are ok with doing low level stuff (and with the risk of messing thngs up ).

Instead of clicking on the plugin, do a right click and save the mjp file on your disk. Open it with an editor and you will see which zip file you need to download, and other normally obvious directions on where the zip file should be unpacked and if the dll need to be registered with regsvr32

Here is a typical package. You can see where the zip file is, that it should go in the plugin directory and that it should be registered

[Package]
Name=WAV (PCM)
Action=UNZIPDIR
Version=2.0.26
URL=http://www.musicex.com/mediajukebox/mj_data/plugins/in_wav.zip

[Action]
File1=in_wav.dll
File1Action1=COPY_PLUGINDIR
File1Action2=REG_WA_IN
