Intallation issues with 5.0.4.2693

[MPG]

Hi,
Not sure if this is the right forum for this. My apologies if it should be somewhere else. I wanted to express my experience in installing the latest version:
1) The install kept stalling on attempting to overwrite MMHelper.dll. I had to restart my machine to finish the install.
2) The install removed some of my custom scripts from the toolbar. Specifically: Fix Characters, Replace String, copy artist, and Spellcheck. (I didn't think to see if they were still installed just removed from the toolbar. I reinstalled them and they reappeared)
3) And the most frustrating piece is that the side window is still being displayed when adding songs to a playlist. I had really, really hoped this had been removed. Sorry guys, but you get a Boo from me.

1. That means something on your system has kept a lock on the file. Restarting the PC resolves that.
2. Did you update an installation or do a new install?

Update.

What was interesting was that I could rename the file, but the install still froze on the dll. I used LockHunter to see what locks were on the file and it indicated there were no locks on the file.

For me, If I drag the song to the playlist name in the media tree the edit playlist window does not pop up.

If I use send-to, playlist, then it does. You are right, it would be nice to at least have the option for it not to appear at all, unless I select edit playlist.

Wondering if anyone is willing to provide an eta on when the side screen popping out when adding songs to a playlist will be disabled?

It was interesting to see that even after renaming the file, the dll install continued to freeze. When I ran LockHunter to check for locks on the file, it showed that there were none.

Hi,
Try to rename Whole MM install folder.
