Righto Mike et al...
It`s up`n`runnin`,,, :)
What an effing palaver... :/
Went and fetched the .msi version and it wouldn`t install.
It goes through all of the usual sh1t and looks as tho`
it is strutting its stuff but... no go...
Even right clicking the icon and changing access rights
makes f**k all difference...
So the only way I found to do it was from the
CMD.EXE command prompt; (NOT the COMMAND.COM
one that still exists in Vista)...
Here is the procedure for others...
1) Start -> Programs -> Accessories...
2) RIGHT click on the "Command Prompt" icon...
3) Select "Run as administrator".
4) A prompt will appear to ask for confirmation.
5) After confirmation the "Command Prompt" will open...
6) Change the directory to where the .msi installer is...
(Mine is in C:\Zipfiles so CD\Zipfiles<RETURN/ENTER> was enough.)
7) Now type in the full filename to install...
8) DRIVE:\Path\To\Installer\MediaXW-0.0.6.msi<RETURN/ENTER>
(NOTE this is at the time of writing and will be different in
the future.)
9) And follow the installer as normal.
10) If required close down the Command Prompt when complete...
11) Run Windows Media Player and check to see if
the .OGG file works...
A dialog box will probably appear the first time so WMP
can get the plugin...
WOOHOO, I can now hear the crappy startup music... ;oD
Thanks a lot Mike....
