1208: WARNING. BACKUP BEFORE INSTALLING.

Post by Owyn »

Initial install caused:
- Database upgrade (probably to fix Songs.Extension)
- Loss of custom scripts in Scripts.Ini (I fortunately had backed up just before installing and restored Scripts.ini from the backup zip. Thanks Trixmoto, could not have been testing your Backup 5.1 script at a better time).

Have not had time yet to do any more tests, I just did the install minutes ago.

Thanks for the warning but interestingly I didn't lose mine.

Yeah. I am scrambling here to reconstruct the upgrade. I forgot to save the Scripts.ini from the upgrade before I fixed the problem. Will post to Mantis when I have a reproducible test case.

I was going to restore from my external drive backup and just realized that my "Full" backup is data only. Psigh.

BTW:

I just installed 1208 on my work computer and I didn't lose here here either, but I did back it up prior because I do not run backups on this computer.

Ok. It is not a Scripts.Ini issue. Have not been able to reproduce corruption in that file, but, I do have missing Scripts in Tools -> Scripts.

Specifically, Backup and SQL Viewer.

Also checked the schema, and there are no changes 1207->1208 so the upgrade is just to clean up Songs.Extension.

No more testing for a while today. Will be away from test system.

I installed before seeing this message.

Found one issue with Randomize Playlists script: when trying to Randomize an auto playlist, I got a message 'must selct a playlist node'. I don't think it makes sense to randomize an autoplaylist so I'd say the error message is misworded.

You should post this in the Randomize Script forum, but I do not have the option to randomize an autoplaylist. Where are you seeing it??

I see nothing wrong either. Scripts.ini is fine and I see no missing options in the Scripts menu.

I am back for a few minutes and noticed that I could not get a copied script to show up properly either. (I copied in v0.6.0 of script but it kept running v0.5.6).

So, guessing it might be a Vista issue. I clean installed 1208 and re-added scripts. Script menu is now back to what I had in 1207 (and I retested as 1207 to confirm that) and Backup ran at startup. Now have a WSH error from the Backup script.

This is starting to smell like a Vista UAC/Virtual Store/Security issue. Recreating the problem may be tricky. I also noticed one user reported that they had to run 1208 as Admin. This could be a related problem.

Possibly, but mine worked fine on Vista Ultimate machine. But I have UAC turned off and I installed original MM as an administrator so I do not need to run as admin for future installations of MM or scripts/skins.

Just noting that I run Vista Premium, however I disabled UAC ages ago. Thus it's not a general Vista problem (or at least Premium), so UAC might indeed be the culprit.

Yeah. I need to sit down with some paper and plan out a test for this. Have to be later though, on my way again.
