Error When Trying To Install Bezels
Opened this issue · 13 comments
I am using Windows 8 along with MAMEui32 v0.217 and I get an error whenever I try to install the MAME Bezel pack that says "ArcadeBezels directory not found in repository. Please notify the application director". I will list the steps I am using in order to try to download the bezels below.
- On the main menu I choose option 1 and Process MAME? then I push OK.
- Then I go into the preferences menu and under Native MAME location I put in the location of my MAMEUI32.exe and click on save.
- On the "Download Bezel" Window I Highlight "Update Install Script" and click OK
- I highlight Install MAME (MAME not Installed) and click OK (Here is when the error window pops up)
Since it is saying "MAME not installed I am thinking that the Bezel Project is simply not detecting my version of MAME. If someone could let me know what I am doing wrong and how to fix it I would really appreciate it.
Under Preferences, do you have Manual Install at the bottom set to Yes or No?
Sorry, I forgot to mention that setting. I have tried both Yes and No and got the error message either way. I even tried adding al the variations of the MAMEUI32 filename to both the arcade=, MAME= section of the Bezel Project.ini file and that did not work either. I have completely run out of ideas.
What bezel style do you have selected in Preferences, Themed or System Art?
Themed
I just installed a fresh version of MAMEUI and can't replicate any issue.
When you try to install for MAME, do you see any progress bars for the download, or when 7-zip is extracting the zip file? Do you see any progress info for any action?
I should have mentioned that I get a 7-zip error before the other error that says "Cannot find archive".
If it can't find the archive, that implies the download is failing. Are you using a firewall? If so, make sure the app is allowed internet access. Can you test downloading other repositories to see if those fail too?
I allowed the app in my firewall and it did not help. I also tried running it in admin mode and that didn't help either. I tried the retroarch repository and got he same results.
Not sure what else to check at this point. I suppose any anti-virus you may be using may be blocking, or removing some aspects of the app. What directory did you install the app in?
I installed it in my H drive, which is a removable drive.
As long as you didn't install into Program Files, it really shouldn't matter, however removable drives can often have bad sectors, so just as a test, please install somewhere on an internal drive and retest.
I tried installing it to C:\Bezel Project and that did not help either.
I assume you can bring up the Github pages for the project on that same machine using a normal web browser? https://github.com/thebezelproject?tab=repositories
