bristols, I don't want to violate any licensing agreements by posting MS files. I'll post the settings and installation files I've created tonight.

timeless, I'm curious to see what you've done for comparison. I can't download anything at work, but I'll look tonight.

Right beaker. What I meant was the inf/reg files and simply a list of required MS files - not the files themselves, of course.

Look forward to your next post.

bristols, working on a write-up now. More in a bit...

timeless, you might want to work on your installer a bit. It doesn't unregister the dlls upon uninstallation. Also, none of the internet options are working. I didn't try the database functionality, I was afraid it would wreak havoc on my current database. The warez feel of the install was a bit troubling...complete with the add for a site an a file.nfo stating "another quality product" I think I'll stick with the inf/reg method.

thxz 4 trying it out its quick and neat and it works. send me your stuff lets see your inf reg way. i thought about the reg inf method but thats not my strong suite .lets compare.

All right, I've combined all the reg settings into the inf file itself. I've verified that the Internet, Database and Help functionality are all working with this install. Please let me know if this works or doesn't work for you.

The files you need are:

cdnet.dll

cdopt.dll

cdplay.dll

deluxecd.exe

deluxcd.hlp

deluxcd.chm

I don't know that it's necessary, but I used makecab on each of them, so I have:

cdnet.dl_

cdopt.dl_

cdplay.dl_

deluxecd.ex_

deluxcd.hl_

deluxcd.ch_

Here is the content of the inf file. It looks like there are three lines that the text wraps on in the [AddRegSettings] section. If you can't get this to work, please let me know and I'll upload my copy.

a big hand to beaker for all the work hes doing on this! the software worked perfectly on my XP laptop and desktop.

-brian

not bad brian i went to the threetix site where you can download reg and inf file there.plus database convertor as well.

brian, I'm glad it works for you!

timeless, your welcome. Yes, I pointed the player to hinzen's site for song download/upload. I'm not sure if you're saying I stole work, but trust me, if I'd known he posted an inf file I would have used it to save time. About 3 years ago, he and I experiemented with the settings required to work in XP (the certificate information). I used those settings that we created as a base for the inf. You might want to get your facts together before dismissing other's work.

[EDIT] timeless, on re-reading your post, I might have mis-judged what you were saying. If I mis-read, I apologize. Chalk it off to be just waking up and being grumpy

Edited April 14, 200620 yr by beaker
