SUPER Launcher only Test 3 Submitted by Nathan9222 on May 31, 2008 - 1:22am
Application: SUPER Release Notes:
If something doesnt work please tell me. I havent really tested this out too much myself, and I mean if you already have a local install and the settings, I dont know if it gets the necessary files. But it is included in the script to copy them to the DefaultData\settings folder. ( categories: )

Yeah !!!
Thank you ! I waited for this for ages...
Strange...
It just don't open on my computer (yes I copied what was in /erighsoft/super to the folder of the launcher). I need to test it on other computers...
Me neither
I have the same problem on mine. It's Windows Vista *shudders* Home Premium if that helps.
.
I'm on Windows XP
version?
You should indicate what version of SUPER this intended for, just to be safe.
I know there are a few versions still out there.
Thanks,

Here let me test it more....
It probably doesnt work because it needs to get the necessary files from Windows\system 32 folder let me try and get that to work.

What
...does it need?
I'll put it in and see if that fixes it.

New Test. Should fix problems that some of you had. Also if you have a local install, it will copy the necessary files to the DefaultData folder, then to the $SETTINGSDIRECTORY. If you mainly use it on the computer that has the local install it will use the necessary files from it, but if you move to a computer that doesnt have SUPER installed, it will move the settings from the $SETTINGSDIRECTORY to the System 32 folder. I have been testing it out a lot and im pretty sure it works fine now. Also make sure to use the latest version of SUPER.

System 32 folder ???
Perhaps I'm misreading something here but how does anyone but an Admin move anything TO the System 32 folder?

Not working
It's still not doing anything. I just realised however that neither is the local install (I had installed just to test this as MediaCoder annoys me)
I'll try and find a version that actually works and test it with that.
oh yeah......
Just in case anyone is doing this, if you compress any of SUPERS files, it stops working. I tried compressing it with the PortableApps compressor and it did not work. So just in case you did that, just uninstall the one you compressed and reinstall. I wonder if I could just put the necessary .dll and other files that it needs with the app instead of trying to get them from a local install.

Working local
I now have a working local install but the portable version is still not opening at all.
Just wondering....
Did you ever get the portable version to work?? If not im gonna try and fix that right now, Ill add a bit more IfFileExists, cause I only did it for one file, maybe that file never got created after install.

are the executables, etc
are the executables, etc correct?
Good gracious! There goes a kangaroo. I must have a practice with me boomerang- Now then, slowly back
If you throw that thing at me, I'll jump right on your head.
Innit marvellous? Got a land full of kangaroos and I had to pick that one.
Yup....
Just wondering would it be against the rules to just include the files it needs, it needs a .dll files and a few .ax files, without those it wont even launch. But ill be trying to fix that as soon as possible.

New Update...
Check above for changes, for those of you having problems, please try this again and tell me if it works, im not sure what platforms it supports, so that might be a reason why some of you using vista have problems with this, but im not sure. Please test this out again, and remeber to just copy the C:\Program Files\eRightSoft to The "App" directory then it will ask you if u want to overwrite it, then choose yes.

Settings
Should there be anything in the settings directory?
It's now working on my computer :)
But due to the fact that there's nothing in the settings directory I don't think it'll work on one without a local copy.
Check the....
Check the App\Default Data" Folder, if there are files in there then u r good to go, cause I set it not to take out those files from your computer, this way u can keep the local install. So try SUPER portable on another computer that has never had it on there, and everything should be copied to the "Data\settings" directory if not just delete the "settings" folder when ur on a new computer,relaunch SUPERPortable.exe and it should work.

Anyway, it's working fine on this computer which has never had a local install so thank you very much for this.
