Congratulations! I KNEW someone would come here and tell me to update the MSI to 5.1, even though it's STILL in beta status. Now quite honestly, I WON'T update the MSI untill Winamp.com's FRONTPAGE shows the change as ONLY THEN is it considered official.

Oh, I didn't see the word Beta anywhere on it.

@Alanoll would you have any idea why I don't have start menu > programs > winamp dir, for each user? I mean I install all my programs with runonceex as admin ( autologon first time ). And yet I don't have the dir for the other users ( I am creating them with cmdlines.txt so that might be a problem ). They should be created after winamp install to work ? Anyhow the only solution would be to copy the start menu dir to others ?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

The Installer doesn't create them for all users. I'll look into changing that when 5.1 comes out.

Hi all

I have a problem with Winamp since using this MSI, but it could be other things I guess.

Doesnt look like anyone else has had the same problem though.

Anyway, to cut a long story short - my problem is to do with my settings not being saved. Such as enabling alpha blending and where the Winamp window was positioned are reverted back to default after a restart of my system.

Install config used:

[SETUP]
Xfull=0
Xagent=0
Xlibrary=0
Xhotkey=1
Xjump=0
Xtray=0
Xmodernskin=1
Xaudio=1
Xvideo=0
Xvisual=0
Xextra=1
Xdircont=1
Xtypecont=1
Xnetscape=0
Xaudiocd=1
XskinSetting=Foton_1_0a
XQuicklaunch=1
Xdesktop=0
XStartmenu=1
XINET=0
XREGAUD=1
XREGVID=1
XREGPLS=1

Also where would winamp save the apha blending option too? I copied the Winamp.ini from the program folder before and after and used the FC command and it said both files were the same?

Just want to check to see if the option is being saved to the file it should be.

Many thanks

make sure that the INI file is NOT set to READONLY prior to Winamp starting. If you're copying over your own INI file from a CDROM, it will most likely be set to READONLY. Even if you don't, just check it anyway.

Thanks. So far I manualy copy the dir, over to allusersprofile to make it for all.

Winamp 5.1 is out officially

by the way. in "what's new" they write

"* Fixed: Silent install switch now works properly"

does it mean that they added more switches or just fixed existing /S ?

i would prefer Alanoll work!

Wish he back and scripting for new winamp 5.1

Salute Alanoll

you people don't need to tell me when there's a new version out...

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

to quote the immortal

"* Fixed: Silent install switch now works properly"

does it mean that they added more switches or just fixed existing /S ?

Good question..

winamp50*.exe /S /install=SFQDRA

/S = Silent install

S=start menu icons, F=file association, Q=quicklaunch icon, D=desktop icon, R=fake registration, A=run winamp agent/set default

Those are the last known official switches for the original NullSoft installer.

Goodluck.

the new winamp start very slow

the new winamp start very slow

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Sry, not for me! If you disable the start screen (it is cool, but useless), Winamp 5.1 starts as fast as Version 5.094. On my machine.

it is slow...

i do compare

And there is no for the present a version .msi for the last winamp? In advance thanks.

winamp50*.exe /S /install=SFQDRA

/S = Silent install

S=start menu icons, F=file association, Q=quicklaunch icon, D=desktop icon, R=fake registration, A=run winamp agent/set default

Those are the last known official switches for the original NullSoft installer.

Goodluck

So this means it DOESNT install these things, after use of these switches???
