CANT INSTALL fish10: mirc.ini file could not be located. about mirc_fish_10 HOT 13 CLOSED

I confirm with .zip file, it works like a charm.
The installer seem broken.

from mirc_fish_10.

mirc.ini file is located in %appdata%\mIRC folder.

from mirc_fish_10.

So, the installer is buggy and need to be fixed.
Why the installer ask us for the mirc.ini path if we cant specify it ?

Most people dont run mIRC on a standard path then we need to be able to change the mIRC.ini path.

Sincerely.

from mirc_fish_10.

The installer checks for mirc.ini in:

a) Given path
b) %appdata%\mIRC

The error message will also appear if your mirc.ini is stored in appdata but still contains portable=yes (which does not make much sense). Maybe this is the case on your setup?

Hi sir,
My mirc.ini is'nt appear in my %appdata%\mIRC.
My mirc.ini is in my D:\mIRC... like all my configs file for mIRC.

from mirc_fish_10.

Then maybe your mirc.ini does not contain portable=yes but is still located in the same folder as mirc.exe. Is that possible?

from mirc_fish_10.

in mt mirc.ini, I have:
[about]
portable=no

My mirc.ini is located in the same folder as mirc.exe.

from mirc_fish_10.

Can you type /fishdebug and copy/paste the first 5 sections (up to and including Variables)?

from mirc_fish_10.

sorry for the delay.
before I created the ticket, I installed the module using the .zip file.
Do you want me to run it anyways ?

Im available if you want to test something.
Just let me know.

from mirc_fish_10.

Thanks for the info, I was not aware that mIRC is able to work this way. I will reproduce on my machine and fix the installer accordingly.

from mirc_fish_10.

Fixed with commit 673101f, the next release will have the updated installer.

Thanks for reporting!
