[1450] Cannot create file \Portable\MediaMonkey.registry
Running 1450 in Portable mode, I am randomly getting this error, quite frequently (for different songs)
[Window Title]
9. Manic Street Preachers - From Despair To Where - MediaMonkey
[Content]
Cannot create file "Z:\MediaMonkey\MediaMonkey4\Portable\MediaMonkey.registry". The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process
[OK]
I left the whole album playing from track 1 and this occurred while track 9 was playing.
After closing MM4, I was able to rename the file, so it wasn't locked by another process.
I am running Win7 x64.
Thanks

Hi toof4ast,
I'm testing MM for hours on end and have never seen this. Would you mind installing build 1452 and sending a debug log?
Also, please check in the Task Manager that only 1 MediaMonkey process is active.
Thanks.

I have installed 1452. I will see if it happens. It has only started happening with the latest build. I was on 1438 before that.
There was only one MM process running. It doesn't crash MM, nor stop the song playing. The message is just for information.
I guess it will only happen with a portable install, but I assume you have tested that.

Yeah--we're doing a lot of testing in portable mode.
If you can replicate this, I'd much appreciate a debug log. We're getting close to the next RC, and I'd love to get to the bottom of this.
Thanks.

I have just seen the exact same issue. I am also running Win 7 x64. No music was playing (I had only just started the app and it had begun the startup scan. I will send a debug log if I see the issue again
Re: [1450] Cannot create file \Portable\MediaMonkey.registry
It would be valuable to find what process access the registry file. The file should be accessed exclusivelly by MediaMonkey. Do you run more than one MM instance at once?
Re: [1450] Cannot create file \Portable\MediaMonkey.registry
Hi Ludek, I agree. I was only running one instance of the software so that isn't the culprit. With it being a non-standard file type it is unlikely to be used by antything other than MM.

Re: [1450] Cannot create file \Portable\MediaMonkey.registry
You should be able to easily find this by using Process Explorer ( http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysi ... s/bb896653 ).
When the error appears, run Process Explorer and select Menu->Find->Find handle or DLL...
Type MediaMonkey.registry and you will see which process takes it.

I also get this problem. I also use win 7 -64. There is also not more than one instance of Mediamonkey running (only one Mediamonkey program running at a time). I followed the Process Explorer instructions, but the program didn't find any result. I use MediaMonkey version 4.1.1.1703 (Portable Mode). One don't alwayes get the error only some days. Restarting computer helps. Let me know if there's anymore info I can give.
Re: [1450] Cannot create file \Portable\MediaMonkey.registry
Ps. the music files are on the same portable drive as the program. - Don't know if this info makes a difference.
