MIIP client fails to load

[ItsMeBobO]

If MIIP fails to load due to LOR not being found or is not accessible.
MIIP looks for LOR location in the registry and then tests the registry locations are good. MIIP must have permission to read sequence, music, and show files and to write show files and other files in the app folders.

Please check your registry using regedit to verify your LOR settings are all there. Then set windows permissions for application to write in the folders.

An overview of MIIP is here http://miip.mobi/help/MemberDocumentation.html


Here are selected clips from the code. Note the different titles in the message boxes for each test.

LORAppPath = My.Computer.Registry.GetValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareLight-O-RamaShared", "AppPath", "").ToString()
            LORNonAudioPath = My.Computer.Registry.GetValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareLight-O-RamaShared", "NonAudioPath", "").ToString
            LORAudioPath = My.Computer.Registry.GetValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareLight-O-RamaShared", "AudioPath", "").ToString

            If LORAppPath = "" Or LORNonAudioPath = "" Or LORAudioPath = "" Then
                MessageBox.Show(NoLorMsg, "LORAppPath not found", MessageBoxButtons.OK)
                End
            End If

            Dim dir As New IO.DirectoryInfo(LORAppPath)
            If Not dir.Exists Then
                MessageBox.Show(NoLorMsg, "LORAppPath invalid", MessageBoxButtons.OK)
                End
            End If

            dir = New IO.DirectoryInfo(LORNonAudioPath)
            If Not dir.Exists Then
                MessageBox.Show(NoLorMsg, "LORNonAudioPath not found", MessageBoxButtons.OK)
                End
            End If

            If Not File.Exists(LORAppPath & "LORTray.exe") Then
                MessageBox.Show(NoLorMsg, "LORTray.exe not found", MessageBoxButtons.OK)
                End
            End If

Is there another way to verify LOR is installed properly without using RegEdit to view or edit the registry?

As I'm sure some would not, or do not want to start poking around their registry and mess something up. Because if you don't know what you're doing you can really foul up a computer system poking around and making changes to the registry settings.

Although I can't see how LOR CAN NOT be installed when ALL my LOR software works just fine with no issues or problems. But when I tried installing the MIIP that one time it said it couldn't find the LOR software, yet I know it's all there, it is in the registry and all the LOR programs work.

The one thing I'm not sure of, how do you set the permissions for the MIIP software to read/write to the LOR directories/folders?

Most often if a program is BLOCKED, my firewall comes up and asks if I want to keep blocking, unblock or cancel. I don't get this pop up box with MIIP when I tried installing it, most software I install usually pops this window up.

So I need to know how to give access to the MIIP, although not sure I'll use it, since I usually use the DC-MP3 Showtime Director to run my shows, but one never knows, I may use one of the extra desktiop systems for a LOR showtime computer and this would be a nice option to have for future implementation if I can get it installed.

Just need to know how to get it to install on ANY system with the LOR Software Suite installed.

Sorry my last post was unclear. You got this popup message. "LOR not accessible or not installed. MIIP must close."
But what I was asking you about was the heading or title in the top part of the box. This will be more specific on where miip could not gain access to needed files or folders. MIIP lumps problems together when it cant figure out what is wrong. If it cant see the folder it does not know the folder is really there like we do.

LORAppPath not found
LORAppPath invalid
LORNonAudioPath not found
LORTray.exe not found



MIIP overlays the LOR show file. So it must have write access there.
It also writes other command and message files.
To grant access to a folder...right click on it to get a floating context menu. Select 'Properties' at the bottom. Select security then EDIT.
Select the user MIIP will be run as. (Your regular login) then check the permission you want to grant then Apply.



These commands on RUN will dump registry to a file for you. One at a time.

regedit /e %UserProfile%LORregAll.txt "HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareLight-O-Rama"
regedit /e %UserProfile%LORregShared.txt "HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareLight-O-RamaShared"
