installer for upcoming versions

[aquaplaning]

a few people (including myself) encountered this error message when vdubmod is started from gk:
"Videosourceavi error: the sourceimage format is not acceptable. (error code -2)"

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=730304&group_id=77391&atid=550084

this problem can be solved by adding this key to the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32\VIDC.YV12
with value
"xvid.dll" or "divx.dll"

divx.dll worked for me.

i suggest to set this reg entry during gk installation (if not already present).
is this easy to do or should we check the value in the gk exe before vdubmod is started?

I thought the latest installers for xvid and divx already set this?

Something like this should do it in the divx section and the same (with other dll name) in the xvid section

ReadRegStr $R1 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32\VIDC.YV12
iferror noyv12installed end

noyv12installed:
WriteRegStr HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32\VIDC.YV12 divx.dll

end:

and in a common section after they have both been installed (incase the user decided they didnt want to installed the builds that came with the codec pack we should still check)

ReadRegStr $R1 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32\VIDC.YV12
iferror noyv12installed end

noyv12installed:
MessageBox MB_OK|MB_ICONEXCLAMATION "No YV12 codec installed please install a recent divx, xvid or other YV12 codec."

end:

(ps the syntax may not be quite right i have not done any NSIS in about a year and only basic stuff even then)

Could you check the install scripts into cvs so we can update them as needed please?

It's done :)

SubConscious, did you put all executables in the CVS ???

Considering that they will be there forever (you cannot remove anything physically, just hide in the attic section) it's very wrong thing to do... only scripts has to be the CVS all executables have to be just downloaded from where it can be deleted...

Moreover if we ever have problems with content distribition there - we cannot remove that stuff by ourselves without SF guys...

*Edit*
Scripts can go to different module actually as well... (not gknot)

With the addition of the program paths tab it would be nice to clean up the GK directory and put each app in its own folder. Then the hacked vStrip 0.8f could be replaced with the official version.

There are some files in the current RipPack that are not needed.
1.Greedy and IVTC - They could be included in the AviSynth 2.08 & Plugins installer if they're not already.
2.Deen
3.If you choose to install AviSynth 2.51 (April,16) libjpeg.dll, libpng.dll, and zlib.dll have been replaced by devil.dll.
4.Are msvcrtd.dll and msvcr70.dll needed?

Thanks
