HowTo This file is a short description of what the installer does - so you can do it yourself manually. 1. create an installation directory. 2. copy mplayer.exe into the installation directory. 3. copy mplayer.bat into the installation directory. 4. copy Pncrt.dll into the \system32\ directory - ONLY if it does not exist already! No need to overwrite an existing one... 5. copy manpage.html into installation directory for easy consultation. 6. in the main installation directory create a subdirectory mplayer and copy into it: - subfont.ttf - codecs.conf - config - input.conf 7. in the main installation directory create an empty subdirectory codecs -here you can put the codecs you need, and the mplayer will write the DVD keys here as well. 8. in the main installation directory create a subdirectory docs and copy here the docs in the language you want ;-) 9. create a shortcut on the desktop. 10. to associate the files (optional), the folowing entries in the registry are created: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.qt "qtfile" HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\qtfile "QuickTime File" HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\qtfile\shell\open\command "\mplayer.exe "%1" " HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov "movfile" HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\movfile "QuickTime File" HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\movfile\shell\open\command "\mplayer.exe "%1" " HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mkv "mkvfile" HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mkvfile "Matroska File" HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mkvfile\shell\open\command "\mplayer.exe "%1" " HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.ram "ramfile" HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ramfile "RealAudio Metafile" HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ramfile\shell\open\command "\mplayer.exe -playlist "%1" " HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.rm "rmfile" HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\rmfile "RealAudio File" HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\rmfile\shell\open\command "\mplayer.exe "%1" " HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.ra "rafile" HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\rafile "RealAudio File" HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\rafile\shell\open\command "\mplayer.exe "%1" " HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.ogg "oggfile" HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\oggfile "Ogg Vorbis File" HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\oggfile\shell\open\command "\mplayer.exe "%1" " HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.ogm "qtfile" HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ogmfile "Ogg Vorbis File" HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ogmfile\shell\open\command "\mplayer.exe "%1" " 11. optionally, copy MPlauncher into application directory.
