How to fix networkconnection unavailable and white icon in mediamonkey installer.

[CrashMonkey]

I had a problem with mediamonkey not recognizing the network drives, with blank icons.



Found out that during installation, the MM installer runs under admin account, and my admin account had no network share available.

Solution:
Start cmd.exe -> Run as Administrator.
In the black screen:

Code: Select all

net use w: \\server\share /user:username password /persistent

Change driver: letter, servername, sharename, username and password with your info.
Press enter.
Run the installer, and the drive you added manual under the admin account, is now also recognized inside MediaMonkey Installer:

Hi,
Interesting, you have not pointed that in Ticket.

This looks more like https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view ... 971#c55685 try supplied app to change credentials

FYI Mapped drives are not shared among users, that is why UNC paths are recommended which explains why they are not accessible.

Only found out later, when googling "installer network shares unavailable during installation", and came on tenforums with artikel e how to fix the issue. I did update the ticket, but perhaps you missed that and read the forum before ticket system.

The file in the bugtracker i will test tomorrow.

Hi,

The file in the bugtracker i will test tomorrow.

Sure, it is test app I created to see if it is possible to quickly switch shared folders credentials from one user to other especially when Linux shares are involved where "\\SERVER\home" folder content depends on folder user credentials.

Same approach can be used when accessing "\\localhost\shared folder"
