Can't install livereceiver extension
I tried downloading http://www.aquadasoft.com/LiveReceiver.zip and installing the extension on a clean install of MMF2 Build R248. But when I try to open my example, MMF2 says "Cannot load extension LiveReceiver.mfx". I tried to redownload and install making sure it was placed in the correct folders. No luck. Then tried opening MMF2 and refreshing for new extensions, but with no luck. I then tried downloading and installing a couple of other extensions just to test. They all worked fine.
I tried installing Fusion Updater to see what version of LiveReceiver it would suggest (if any), but it said it couldn't connect to database.
Has anyone else experienced problems installing Live Receiver from the above link? Or does someone have a clue as to what could be wrong? I did check the naming of the extension too, it hasn't changed, so I'm really lost as to why it won't load.
Re: Can't install livereceiver extension
I don't understand, there is not install. You copy the files in the zip file to the folders in MMF.
What I am getting is that you can not copy the files from the zip file in to your MMF directory and they never copy?
If so that does not sound like an MMF issue but rather a virus or spy-ware problem. Turn off any of this and try again to see if that helps.
That would be all we need is for some spy-ware or virus company to scan and remove products with live receiver in them.
Good luck,

Re: Can't install livereceiver extension
Let me clarify. When I say install, I'm referring to the process of unzipping and copying the files to the respective folders. So Yes I'm unzipping and copying actual files.
I've had naming issues in the past with other extensions, but I've double checked the names and they are correct as well.
I don't think spyware is the problem. I just wiped the harddisk on this computer and reinstalled everything (hence reinstalling MMF2 and livereceiver).
Re: Can't install livereceiver extension
Wow! Thats messed up!
The files are in the directory but MMF does not see them?
Not that I think this is the issue but I have to ask, are you running MMF as Admin?
I would agree that spyware or virus programs are not the issue or the file would not be in the directory.
You got me on this one.
Sorry

Re: Can't install livereceiver extension
Do you have the latest updates for MMF installed?
I am not sure if Jamie restricted it to the latest MMF version or not.
Re: Can't install livereceiver extension
I'm on the latest stable build (248). I just tried installing the HWA beta C, but it had no effect.
I must be doing something completely wrong. Thing is I have no problems with other extensions I tried. Perhaps Jamie changed something in the July update? Are you using the July update (above link) Jeff?
Re: Can't install livereceiver extension
Hey, I had the same exact issue once, and I solved it. Extensions were not reading, I think it occurred when I did an update. Did you recently update to build 248, and were previously using 247? Try re-installing mmf, and install build 247, copy your extensions to the correct directories, and then see if it works. If it still does not work, then update to beta 248. I had the same exact problem, and I ended up fixing. It did take some hair pulling and profanity.
Re: Can't install livereceiver extension
Thanks for the input Mike.
I tried reinstalling MMF2 with no luck. Again, other extensions load up fine, just not LiveReceiver.
If anyone has a working LiveReceiver installed I would like to know the version? Perhaps I can ever persuade someone to upload their version for me to try?
I'm running out of ideas
Re: Can't install livereceiver extension
Ok so I've taken a completely different computer now. Clean install of win XP sp2. clean install of MMF2 and updated to latest build.
Then I've installed a couple of extensions, but again LiveReceiver refuses to load.
Does anyone out there have and use LiveReceiver? I'd very much like to hear from anyone who has a working version installed!
Re: Can't install livereceiver extension
The version I am using is working on MMF2 Dev. It is 196k. Unfortunately, the version information seems to be for Turbo Template Object, so I assume that 1.0.0.0 refers to that.
You could check to see if your version says the same thing.
In the zip file I have the .mfx says 4/25/2008 for the modified date.
Let's see what's going on here ;)
Re: Can't install livereceiver extension
Thanks for the reply Nova.
I'm on MMF2 Dev too. The extension is also 196k. I can't see any "Turbo template object" info anywhere though.
I recognise the modified date of your version. It's an old one, before Jamie fixed the 'crashing in vitalize' issue.
My modified date is 7/25/2008, which I believe is the latest version.
Can I persuade you to upload your zip somewhere? I you have the time you might even want to try to replace you version with the latest and see if you run into the same problems as I did.
Latest version: http://www.aquadasoft.com/LiveReceiver.zip
(But do keep a backup of the previous one)
Re: Can't install livereceiver extension
I am going to make a special thread about the potential problem here.
We seem to be having extension build problems on newer ones and maybe even updates. So, it seem that I saw in another thread about this may be correct.
We need to get this all tracked-down and, if necessary post an official info bulletin for extension devs, and to inform users, about what the problem is and what needs to be done to resolve it.
I will PM you about that version Burfelt.
Re: Can't install livereceiver extension
The sollution seems to be that LiveReceiver requires the VC++2005 framework to be installed on the computer.
Simply install VC++2005 and LiveReceiver should load.
