How to install script on very old Media Monkey?
Posted: Thu Jul 01, 2021 10:15 pm
I need to bring an old (MMv2) installation up to at least MMv4. I've read that the database conversion has to be done on MMv3 so I think I need to do the following steps:
1. Install MMV2 and confirm it works.
2. Install MMV3 and do the conversion.
3. Probably repeat for MMV4.
I've installed MMv2 and copied the media library and database, but now I'm stuck. I need to install and run UpdateLocationOfFiles. I understand that for MMV2 I have to rename the downloaded script from .mmip to .zip, unzip it, and install it. But there I'm stuck. I'm not sure what "install it" means. There's an "install.vbs" script but I think it must have to run from within MM.
I tried just putting UpdateLocationOfFiles.vbs in the MM script directory and guessed at stuff to put in the Scripts.ini file but obviously guessed wrong. The script appears in the list of available scripts but it fails in execution:
Error #13 - Microsoft VBScript runtime error
Type mismatch: 'UpdateLocationOfFiles'
File: "C:\Program Files (x86)\MediaMonkey\Scripts\UpdateLocationOfFiles.vbs", Line 1, Column 0
(Somewhere I saw that this information is supposed to be supplied with the script, but I haven't found it.)
I had guessed ScriptType=0. When I tried =1 the script name disappeared from the list of scripts so I guess that wasn't the solution.
What should I try next?
