It was the same error as the one below me in the quote:

Advent,

I am unable to add entry points to any strip, apart from Pictures & Videos. The following erroor occurs:

Also, any items that were previously added to strips do not show up in menu mender.

The new version crashes right away I try to launch it.

The new version crashes right away I try to launch it.

I don't remember the error message I got, but it crashed for me when I installed it without first uninstalling the older version.

Once I uninstalled both versions then reinstalled the new version it worked fine.

Hi,
I had the same issue.
my config is MCE vista SP1 includes TVPack.

one more thing : if Mender works fine how could I add direct shortcut to a specific live channel without going to the EPG list?


Cheers,Ali

Hey Advent

Just wanted to thank you for this great plugin and ask you a question about the entry point creator. When I create an entry point to an html link, media center will go out open the link and then maximize again without pause. Do you know what I might be doing wrong?

Thank in advance,
Nate

Sorry for the late replies, i've been away for a week.

I dont know how to make a support package, can you tell me?

Click on the "About..." link at the bottom of the Menu Mender window, then click on the "Create a support package..." link.

Same issue as who? WPT?

Unfortunately I don't know a way of doing that, sorry. You might be able to do it from a Media Center plugin (Menu Mender doesn't have one of these, it operates entirely outside MC), but i'm not sure.

You're not doing anything wrong - this is just a situation where things don't work too well. What's going on is that Menu Mender is launching the URL you have given it, but the process that is started doesn't live very long at all - it looks like it hands the URL to another process and finishes straight away. Since the process has finished, Menu Mender then maximises MC again. I'm not sure how to work around this, i'm afraid.
If you're actually trying to add a link to an mcml application on the web, then i'm afraid Menu Mender doesn't support creating those types of links.

Click on the "About..." link at the bottom of the Menu Mender window, then click on the "Create a support package..." link.

I dont come in to menu mender at all so i also cant see the link (Create a support package).

When i click the link menu mender from my start menu directly the error message pops up and the only thing i then can press is oke. After that all closes.

Thnx.

Ok - are you sure this isn't the same problem that MicF and surge were talking about on the last page? Make sure that you have uninstalled ALL versions of Menu Mender, then reinstall 4.2. If it still doesn't work, send me the log file c:\ProgramData\MC Menu Mender BETA\log.txt.

I did first uninstall the old version after installing the new one. So maybe it works when i install the old version, then install the new version, then uninstall both and then install the new version?

I will get you the log.

Thnx.

No, it will work so long as you uninstall the old version BEFORE you install the new version. So, if you installed the new version and then uninstalled the old version, you'll have to uninstall the new version and reinstall it before it will work.

This shouldn't be a problem for future versions.
