Anonymous, sounds like a problem with Plus and not the script since it isn't even getting to the script execution part.

I disagree...

The error the script is giving in Anonymous' case is because it failed to properly install all the things it needs. This is a clear bug in the script, not in Plus!.

In that aspect it is a bit dirty what that script does. And it assumes too much things; takes too much things for granted. You need to check upon more things to make sure everything is installed properly if you depend on external 3rd party apps.

Also, please don't create stuff outside the scripting directory (eg: the maps Scripts_DLLs, Scripts_Sounds, etc...which btw weren't all created here either when I installed the script; so there is clearly something wrong in that). If more scripts started to do that it would become a huge mess. There's a reason why each script gets its own directory and why there is a ScriptFilesPath property.

If you can't overwrite files because they are in use you need a better/proper method to install DLLs. Which would also solve problems like Anonymous had.

just my 2 cents

Cookie, I agree that it is messy to create folders outside, but I have no choice. IPGet no longer uses an ActiveX Dll, so the dll is no problem at all. It does however create a folder for the sound, but as I posted before, using a sound also makes your script irremovable. The only solution is to copy a sound outside the script folder and use that. If there is a way around it, I surely would implement it.
