Mp3tag Portable Launcher Development Test 2

Submitted by prapper on April 12, 2009 - 5:07pm

Application: Mp3tag
Category: Music & Video
Description: Mp3tag is a powerful and yet easy-to-use tool to edit the metadata of common audio formats.

Download Mp3tag Portable Launcher Development Test 2 [324KB download / 6.65MB]
(MD5: 147a1d749a873937975325ed0ec75881)
NOTE: This installer will portablize a local installation.

Release Notes:

Development Test 2 (2009-08-30):

  • Added automatic language switching.
  • Added "CopyLocalFiles" to installer.
  • Updated to latest PortableApps.com specs.

Development Test 1 (2009-04-12): Initial release

Install Notes:

  • Download Mp3tag from here and install it to the local machine.
  • Install Mp3tag Portable Launcher.
    (This installer will also upgrade the previous version of Mp3tag Portable. But BACKUP first...)
  • Uninstall Mp3tag from the local machine.
    NOTE: The Mp3tag uninstaller leaves this empty registry key - "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Florian Heidenreich".

Notes:
If you use the "File/Save configuration..." feature, just save it to the default direcory ("App\Mp3tag") and the launcher will back it up (to "Data\settings\backup") and date it on exit.

Known Issues:
MRUs in the directory switcher won't follow the current drive letter as updating the paths in the config file will corrupt it.

Tested with:
Mp3tag 2.44, 2.43 and 2.42
XP Home SP1 and SP2 (Admin)

Acknowledgments:
Thanks to Patrick for hosting.

Works great, thanks! Been wanting something like this for a while. I wonder why there's no FOSS/OSI tag editor? At least not up here. For what I do, a proper tagger is one thing we're missing.

Any chance for this to be upgraded to a PAF Live Installer?

Live to learn. Learn to live. - JWSII

Yes, that would be my first

prapper - September 1, 2009 - 6:41am

Yes, that would be my first choice too but Mp3tag isn't distributed as a ZIP file. I know the installer can extract some EXE files but I have yet to find one :-(

Unless I'm making a mistake, in which case somebody please correct me. I've tried using this...

[DownloadFiles]
DownloadURL=http://download.mp3tag.de/mp3tagv244setup.exe
DownloadName=Mp3tag 2.44
DownloadFilename=mp3tagv244setup.exe
DownloadMD5=2885dee173b519e0e8d6c63eadc35a2c
AdditionalInstallSize=6975

AdvancedExtract1To=App\Mp3tag
AdvancedExtract1Filter=**

and there we go... :-(

ERROR: (mp3tagv244setup.exe > App\Mp3tag)

Sorry about that :-(

No worries

If the author doesn't distribute as a ZIP then nothing can be done for now. Thanks again for your work on other apps like Avidemux, Glary Utilities, PicPick and SM Player Smiling

Sorry about that

prapper - October 17, 2009 - 12:01pm

Sorry about that portable.me.

I haven't configured "installer.ini" properly. It's missing "CopyFromRegPath" and "CopyFromRegKey". The install directory is stored here...

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Florian Heidenreich\Mp3tag\Install\InstDir = 'C:\Program Files\Mp3tag'

I've added them and now I have...

[CopyLocalFiles]
CopyLocalFiles=true
CopyFromRegPath=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Florian Heidenreich\Mp3tag\Install
CopyFromRegKey=InstDir
CopyFromDirectory=%PROGRAMFILES%\Mp3tag
CopyToDirectory=App\Mp3tag

but the installer is failing with the error...

!insertmacro: macro "_If" requires 4 parameter(s), passed 5!
Error in script "F:\PortableApps\Mp3tag\Mp3tagPortable-DT03\Other\Source\PortableApps.comInstaller.nsi" on line 696 -- aborting creation process

Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Spaced out

Maybe I'm all lost since I have never worked in this particular programming language, but errors like that always seem to spring from spaces embedded in the string.

first of all, thanks for

portable.me - October 17, 2009 - 3:57pm

first of all, thanks for looking into it that quick!

One note about the installer.ini line "CopyFromDirectory=%PROGRAMFILES%\Mp3tag".
That one would only be working if an english windows version is used, no?
The german version for example would be "CopyFromDirectory=%PROGRAMME%\Mp3tag", or
is %PROGRAMFILES% globally used in windows for the *.ini lines?

thanks for your work Smiling

Environment Variable

John T. Haller (Homepage) - October 17, 2009 - 4:13pm

It's an environment variable. On English machines, %PROGRAMFILES% will usually resolve to C:\Program Files. On German machines, it'll be C:\Programme. The environment variables themselves are all in English.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

Thanks for that info granting

Installer Bug

John T. Haller's picture
John T. Haller (Homepage) - October 17, 2009 - 4:11pm

I've confirmed it's an installed bug due to an unquoted string at line 696. A fix will be released in the next day or so.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

Thanks John. And hang in

prapper - October 17, 2009 - 4:35pm

Thanks John.
