here's the update for my "universal Bibble plugin installer for windows"
you know, the smaller and simpler the solution, the bigger the name.


drop it in the unzipped folder of a plugin you want to install, run.



same rules as with the B4 version of this scripty.
feel free to use it, modify it, hack it.
or translate it for any other OS.
include it with your plugin downloads.

thank you.

Shouldn't there be a check for 64bit versions of Windows ("%ProgramFiles%" vs. "%ProgramFiles(x86)%"), or does this work automagically?

Otherwise, it'd be a neat thing having to copy or delete those files manually.

to answer your question: this script is what i use on win xp 32bit.
i dont have any other OS to test against.

so if it doesnt run on 64bit windows please provide us with some infos of where bibble has the userfolders,
if they are differently named than the ones i have put in the script,
and as soon as i have time i'll dig into command(s)hel(l)p and see if there is something to distinguish 32 and 64bit versions..

Dave has set it up so that plug-ins in the next build will be able to be installed in your user folder. You can find the current Bibble user folder in the Windows registry, so I think this will get much easier in the future.

Nice to hear Colleen

and hopefully Dave implemented it nor only for one dir but a dir tree

That's good as installing plugins requires root priviledge on Linux, Mac. Of course Windows does require such things as its so (virus) friendly.
