XULRunner problems with MCAE 0.7.5.4700 x64

Post by cantara256 » Wed Mar 30, 2011 2:29 am

I'm on Windows 7, 64 bit, under Parallels Desktop on a MacBook Pro. I do NOT have any version of Firefox installed.

1. I download MediaCoder Audio Edition 0.7.5.4700.
2. I install it, and check the XULRunner box; I see it downloads and presumably installs xulrunner 1.9.
3. I run MCAE.
4. I try to configure the WM Encoder, and get the Browser Setup dialog. Path to Firefox says "<Firefox not found>".
5. I try to navigate the "Path to Firefox" to C:\Program Files\MediaCoder Audio Edition x64\xulapp, but I don't see an xulrunner.exe anywhere.

How is this supposed to work? If I click XULRunner during installation, this should all just work right?

I tried installing Firefox 4, but that instead gives an error about wrong XULRunner versions. I have tried uninstalling/rebooting/restarting MCAE in various iterations, all give the same problem.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks,

Raul Acevedo

I have the self same problem recent. When trying to edit settings I get this error:

---------------------------
XULRunner
---------------------------
Error: Platform version '2.0' is not compatible with
minVersion >= 1.8
maxVersion <= 1.9.9
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

It seems Firefox has upgraded XULrunner but Mediacoder has a version limit. Bad practice if depending on another software streams install! I tried re-installing and checking XULrunner to see if Mediacoder would install (in aprallel) a version it likes. But no luck.

Looks like the incompatability with Firefox 4 is still with us. See viewtopic.php?f=17&t=10459
Because of this link I will not try to upgrade Firefox. I stiill use 3.6.16.
