[SOLVED]Addon maker bug

[Tjuh]

Hello,

 

Ive managed to create an addon for VLC using the manual method of compressing and renaming to WA extension, but creating it with the addon maker fails every time.

 

Errors_v1.4.1.4.log from the Logs folder of WinToolkit:

Are you able to upload the WA file please and post exactly what you did to reproduce this bug.

[Tjuh]

Sure thing,

 

- I first filled out all of the options on the info tab

- Selected folder containing the VLC files (downloaded the zip version of VLC),selected Program Files folder destination

- Hit save, selected destination of WA file and let it run

 

WA file is only 8 bytes (wtf?): http://www.megafileupload.com/en/file/381793/VLC-2-0-5-WA.html

Worked fine for me, however *Reaper* has already made this an addon. http://www.wincert.net/forum/topic/8981-vlc-media-player-v2050/

 

*Reaper* does a lot of good work

Strange tho, maybe it's a Windows 8 thing :S, anyway like I said I managed to make the addon the manual way, so it's no biggie.

[Legolash2o]

I have Windows 8 so it's not related to that

This thread can be marked as solved and closed, for I have been able to successfully create a VLC addon with the latest test build.

Well, you, as the OP, can change the title to [sOLVED] by editing it in the first post.  Lego then will move it out of the way if he wishes.

 

Cheers and Regards

LOL how silly of me, thanks and done.
