Road Runner Installer and Updater (** Out Dated **) - Page 12

kromec · 12-19-2007, 01:02 AM

Hey there guys,

First of all thanks a lot for making RoadRunner and posting the links for download. But i got a small problem with the new installer. When finished installing i can't run Roadrunner because it is looking for the RR.exe file. If tried downloading the binary also from different servers but i always get a archive error. Guess i'm the only one with this kind of problem. If you guys could help me out it would gladly appreciate this. Thank you in advance.

This guide will help.

btw, are you in Portland, OR? or does pdx stand for something else?

This is very difficult for a newbie to install. The "guide" is NOT a very good thing to use..IE; states to use Winamp 2.95.. Is that a good idea?

Is there someone in the know that could do a simple Quickstart guide for a newcomer here. I have spent a week so far trying to get this to work with The DigitalFX skin. Almost got there and then things degraded quickly.

Now, I have uninstalled RR and DELETED the RR folder. Ran the installer, then DigitalFX.... ran the RRConfig, to set Winamps path, my GPS COM port, Pic path etc. When I start RR it runs great.. music plays, GPS STATS work, Iguidance works, then FREEZE. No matter what I operate after starting RR it freezes.

Any idea on what to do next?

What are the BASIC steps to install a fresh start of RR???

Create a directory called Road Runner in Program Files and then unzip the binaries into it?

Then run RRConfig.exe?

Help!

Hi!

I've installed RR into my new carputer, and It's the first time I use this front end! It's really great but I've to ask you a couple of questions:

- RR shows my music/video files list incomplete, and I don't manage to find a way to make it showing all the files I have. How can I fix this?

- How do I listen to audio cds? I've made a search but still I don't know what I have to do.

- Is there a way to make screen transitions faster?

Thanks for your support and Merry christmas!

I havent even gotten that far. I cant get anything to work. RR looks like a great program if it would work... Does it work with VISTA?

Your best bet is to:
1. Run the RR installer.
2. Go into RR folder and delete the file "ziplocator.dll"
3. DL a current copy of the rr binary and drop the roadrunner.exe in the folder.
4. DL the current config ver (see my sig)
5. Run the RRConfig.exe.

That should get you started...

Thanks... I have been working on a RR install that seems to be getting there... s l o w l y...

So , where is the best pace to get the newest RR installer?
Here: http://www.w3bma5t3r.com/mirror/dopp...kage=Installer ??

What does "ziplocator.dll" do? I dont have it in my current setup.

I am afraid of trying a different rrconfig.exe. I think that is what screwed up a good start I had going at one point. I am using one that is probably 3 months old... 254K file

Maybe you know.. IF I wanted to try testing say your new RRConfig.exe (or any other experiment) -- Can I just copy the entire folder (Program Files\Road Runner\ and if all goes haywire, just copy the backup back? Are there any other changes made to the system? IE; registry changes, etc?

I have been working on weird things today, like :

Audio_Playlist.skin ::

Vol- button loads the "MIXER" skin
Vol+ button loads GPS!

I have found several other skins that are incorrect (DFX2.5)
Makes me wonder.....

So is the installer and updater working now? I see above where some folks mention that it's not working but that was about a month ago...

So, do other people have this happening?

Go to MUSIC then PLAYLIST button, then VOL- ==> loads MIXER screen
VOL+ ==> loads GPS

I also have several other buttons that are wrong...

Just curious if anyone else's RR + DFX2.5 does this?

Blue ZX3 · 12-24-2007, 11:49 AM

There were some probs with DFX2.5, and it has been mentioned in that thread. There is DFX 3.0 just around the corner...

Drop these in your dfx folder, should take care of those buttons

Oh,ok, sorry if I missed that post. Thanks for the fix file, I had already fixed the play list skin, but had'nt found the problems in the audio_search.skin.
Also there are 3 more errors in the Audio_search.skin (in my skin anyway):
-----------------------------------------
PREV BUTTON:

B16,199,520,97,78,"LOAD;Audio_Browser.skin","Playl ist"

PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON:

B,299,520,96,78,"PLAY",@STOP||PLAY@

NEXT BUTTON:
IS:
B10,398,520,98,78,"PLAY",@STOP||PLAY@
CHANGE TO:
B10,398,520,98,78,"NEXTTRACK",
------------------------------------------
Also there are many errors in my XM_Favorites.skin :

POWER ==> scans
IS:
B07,103,510,96,89,"SCANMODE","Scan"
CHANGE TO:
B07,103,510,96,89,"EXITMENU",""

PLAY/PAUSE ==> scanS
IS:
B06,297,510,101,89,"PLAY","Play" --Acts like scan
..........TRIED THE FOLLOWING:
B06,297,510,101,89,"PLAY",@STOP||PLAY@ -- SCANS ?

B06,297,510,101,89,"PLAY", -- SCANS!?

I SET IT TO: (FOR NOW)
B06,297,510,101,89,"EXIT","Exit" - RETURN TO PREVIOUS WINDOW

PREV ==> loads Mixer window
IS:
B04,200,510,96,89,"MIXER","Mixer"
CHANGE TO:
B04,200,510,96,89,"PREV",

NEXT ==> loads GPS window
IS:
B20,398,510,101,89,"GPS",""
CHANGE TO:
B20,398,510,101,89,"NEXT",
-------------------------------------

Sorry for the long post... Just thought you would like to know in case the 3.0 has the same problems...

Oops,, should this be posted in the DFX forum so others will be aware of these things?

I would uninstall RR, and delete your downloaded RR installer if thats what you used, then download another copy of RR. You might have a corrupt download...
