Reopen, change made it worse. And reopens few other questions 2. why MM Setup self initially copy MediaMonkey.ini, MediaMonkey.m3u8 and MM.DB from MM4 install folder prior to MM5 Start and user is not even prompted for MM4 Input? note: After copy of MediaMonkey.ini only change is adding "ClearCache=1" line in "[System]" section. 3. Logging MM Installation there is Exception error on MM5 start during installation (Log Attached) 4. After starting MM5 and choosing to import MM4 DB a MM.DB from roaming\mediamonkey is used instead of roaming\MediaMonkey5 which gets deleted and in mediamonkey.ini DBName line was added to INI pointing to roaming\mediamonkey\mm5.db even all other settings are in roaming\mediamonkey5 Steps: 1. Clean Normal Install of MM5 and that MM4 is installed previously 2. roaming\MediaMonkey5 is created and MM4 mediamonkey.ini, mediamonkey.m3u8 and mm.db are copied to that folder (No questions asked) and MM5 was never started before except for executing command line "/elevate /prepareassoc /associateunassoc /regcomserver" (BUG 2) 3. after starting MM5 and accepting import MM4 settings MM5 is nowhere near roaming\mediamonkey5 (BUG 4) If user closes MM5 and deletes roaming\mediamonkey5 folder and repeat step 3 BUG 4 happens again. |

5. if user deletes roaming\MediaMonkey5\mm5.db and copy of MM4 DB at roaming\MediaMonkey5\mm.db (Note that as described in BUG 2 MM5 2287 installation is doing exactly that if MM4 is already installed) is ignored if exist and instead of ignore it should be renamed to MM5.db |
|
|
2-4 fixed. re 5) MM5 never act like that and i'm not sure we should implement another way how to import database right now (high regression risk) |
|
|
Ok will test 2-5 in 2288 @rusty 5) I agree with Petr on this, It should be documented that user can copy backup of MM4 MM.DB direct ly to Roaming\Mediamonkey5\ folder but it should name it MM5.DB and all is working OK and MM5 update library to current version, |
|
|
Verified 2288 It is working correctly now. |

There is still a situation when MM4 settings and database isn't imported: https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=475911#p475911 The user log shown that he had MM4 installed with standard path: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\MediaMonkey\MediaMonkey.ini but with custom DBName in the MediaMonkey.ini and the MM.DB wasn't presented as C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\MediaMonkey\MM.DB i.e. he deleted the original DB location ==> the key factor to replicate => Fixed in 2290 |

Verified 2290 Works in this case also. |
