5.49 installer does not add Winamp directory in ini
CiXel - 11-28-2010 at 08:06 PM

I needed to reinstall and in doing so used the full 5.49 installer.
When I flipped to use winamp (which was already installed) I noticed nothing happened. I looked in the ini to make sure the pathing was correct and to my surprise there was no entry for any path.

What's the path entry parameter in the ini for winamp supposed to be?

I will look into it...you are on Win7?
it should be the following unless winamp is installed somewhere else.
[Winamp]
Dir=C:Program FilesWinamp

I believe if you have winamp running when you check 'Use Winamp' it should automatically set the path correctly.

Yes win7
All that was under winamp in the ini was
[Winamp]
UseWMP4Video=1


But its working fine now that the string was added.

glad for that
i am stumped...EJukebox starting - not installer - should have set it to C:Program FilesWinamp if winamp.exe exists there. it will also try to get the path from an already running winamp if there is no C:Program FilesWinampwinamp.exe. If neither it gets the file association of mp3 and if it is winamp it sets to that path.

This was x64 Windows Ultimate N

I'm going to try x86 version in general, so I'll give it another go there.

Trying this out today on a Windows 8 environment. Hopefully it will work.
