Registry-based find version, with installer. Doesn't locate TestCenter installs anymore, couldn't find a regkey for that. /shrug I'll work on it more tomorrow.
Note: file is ZIP'd so I can attach it, otherwise it wouldn't be. Edit: New version below. |

I sorta got sucked into the game last night and didn't get to test this at all Ger. I'll give it a go tonight if I can.

UIInstaller/UISwitcher question?
Quote:
Ben PS. When is UISwitcher going to support the folder? Just wondering. :) |
yea that would be simple to do all you would need would be something like
Code:
Imports System.IO i didnt bother including the dialog box form i made to ask yes or no, however you could even just use a default yes/no dialog box. |
I used the UI Installer to install your newest bag mod. (Which I love the smaller ones)
The Setup Went well. I like having it install to its own directory. - You may want to include a line that ask if it wants to create a shortcut, as well as put a listing in the startmenu. I downloaded the the .ZIP file to the same directory as the UI Installer, Ger/UI Installer. I then drag and dropped the mod onto the installer and selected the custom folder and did install, and got no errors. Except of course the overwright window shich I was expecting. So it looks good! I'm very curious to see how things go once its implemented with the website! |
Ok, I used this as the last comment describes.
Tonight I did exactly the same steps to install the talyns mini-map mod, and when i draged and drop the file on the UI Installer it says No Possible Root Folder Located, even though it ran succesfully yesterday. All buttons were also disabled, so I was unable to do a find or anything. I was also unable to navigate to the correct folder. |
Kosmos..... Shame on you stop breaking Ger's mods, I like trying to do that lol j/k :p

I have, however, gotten to fixing TestServer detection, adding autodetection at runtime if no folder was saved from the last session, and adding a restore file-type association pop-up. When I implement Dolby's install as new/install as add-on suggestion I'll fix installation of add-on-only mods. (Hopefully sometime before the end of this coming weekend) New version below. |

Updates:
* Added "Install as Add-on" button Install as Add-on: Install as Add-on will allow you to ignore the usual rules enforced by UIInstaller. It will not use any autodetected archive root information (i.e. the file is unzipped as it was zipped, including any empty/extraneous folders.) It will allow you to install to folders more than one level below UI (i.e. UI\Mods\eq2map.) It will allow you to install files with not enough or too many possible archive roots detected. Once again, zipped because I can't attach exes. |
Hey Ger!
Been using this a bit lately, as as of yet the only problem I've found has been the one with the zip package not being the right structure. It's pretty handy! I keep all my zips that I download in the same directory as the UI Installer. Nice job! Thanks |
Suggestion
I'll admit right now that I did not read through every post on this subject, but I have a suggestion.
Ger...I see that you have Object Desktop and probably know about the optional program you can download that will let you view/download the different Window Blind skins found on the Wincustomize site. Would it be possible to make your UIinstaller do something similar? Then the user could just start up the program and actually just surf the different skins located on this site, find one they like, and just press a download button to have it installed. I'm guessing Dolby would also have to set something up on this end to work with the program. I'm not sure of the name of the Object Desktop program (since I'm at work), but I can check when I get home. This is just a suggestion! I personally don't use that program anyway, but thought it may just make things a little easier for everyone else. EDIT: Just forgot to say...Great job so far! Keep up the good work! :D |

OK I have four computers running XPPro SP2 on three of them everytime I try to run this program, the UISwitcher, or the EQ2Map updater they crash with the following error before even starting up:
"The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). Click OK to terminate the application" They all work fine on the other machine though, and I did the same thing to install all of them. |

Do you have Microsoft .NET framework 1.1 as the directions indicate you must have? |
Yeah, that was it thanks. Out of curiousity, what is it with .NET? I thought it was primarily for easing login onto various servers/systems. I don't install it unless I have to since I was concerned about security.
|
.net is the same concept as java but from Microsoft. hope that makes sense to you, although it is used for servers...kinda (ASP.net) ASP.net is different from a program written in .net
|
Hey ger the buttons are messed up in 120 DPI. Any chance of a fix for those of us with bad eyes?
|
Some mods add lines for new windows into eq2ui_mainhud.xml, and other include files. Any chance the program could intelligently splice the new into the old? Maybe with a configuration file...
Example.. what if I want to install these two: http://www.eq2interface.com/download...fo.php?id=3758 http://www.eq2interface.com/forums/s...9&postcount=29 |

UI Installer Beta
Sweet Work Ger.
Just what the UI Doc ordered. Many peeps will be happy with this, And for some of us, Alot less time spent on IM walking peeps through installing a custom UI. :nana: :D I know it's still in beta, so this is a future suggestion once your happy with final release, maybe some sort of arrangement can be made with the everyday modders to intergrate this with their mods (Maybe set a link to download this as well) and even further down the track the idea arises that maybe your Installer maybe able to have integrated COM routines to automatically download from a selected list of UIs, similiar to the way EQ2 Maps Autoupdater does. (Who knows just an idea / suggestion) Anyway great work bud. Look forward to final release. :) Will give it a test run now with Onxa's latest FN 4.5. ;) Firesparkz Lava`Walker. 46 Templar of Najena See I made a post in Onxa's Fetish UI forums, which in turn has turned out to be a good thing as now alot of peeps at least knows where he stands with his Fetish mod, hoping that it will inspire now others to create UI addons and the like. (Myself included now, :eek: lol ) |
