Bad Shortcut For Tw.MediaWeb Config after Installing Tw.Med
Posted: Wed Jul 23, 2008 6:26 pm
I'm surprised that nobody seems to have mentioned or complained about the fact that after one has installed TwonkyMedia Server 4.4.4 or 4.4.5 (as a System Service in Windows-XP in my case), that it creates a non-existent shortcut for "Twonky Media web configuration" in the desktop's "Start"> "Programs"> "TwonkyMedia" program-group. The installation program sets up the properties of this shortcut with the configuration-file's name incorrectly listed as "Twonkyvision-config.html" instead of "Twonkymedia-config.html". The property-page of this shortcut also lists the starting folder/directory as "C:\Program Files\TwonkyMedia\resources" instead of simply "C:\Program Files\TwonkyMedia" where the real "html" configuration-file is actually located. I hope that the makers of TwonkyMedia Server will correct this minor oversight in their installation program so that less knowledgeable computer operators won't get flustered when they click on the web configuration shortcut and find that it displays the "searching for missing shortcut" animated flashlight, and never finds it. I have included an image of the "bad" shortcut's properties display so you can see the error that shows in the Target-Path's text entered with "Vision" instead of "Media". _T.Church, Engineer @ Professional Audio Consultants, Millburn, NJ
