Hi Remy,
I tried your prereqs installer... here is what I did and some observations:
Installed AVxCAT 2.2.2.0 (over 2.1.1.2), got FP2 and copied, then ran the prereqs installer. It said I did not have ID3V2, Timidity, Ogginfo, and Leech. I did already have timidity, but the path was wrong on the parameters page, so changed to the correct path (C:\Programs\timidity). I choose to download and not install, ran it and everything downloaded (plus some other stuff). Installed all in the locations suggested by the structure of the downloaded zip files (\usr\local\bin and \usr\local\lib were already on my path) and ran the Leech WPI. Then re-ran the prereqs installer and this time it said I did not have ID3V2 and Ogginfo, but again the paths were wrong on the parameters page. Changed the paths and now everything is recognized under AVxCAT parameters, except priority.exe was colored yellow (why yellow?). Manually looked for priority.exe on my system and it was missing, so installed FM2UTILS from WPI. Now priority.exe is white on the parameters page. Re-ran the prereqs installer and now it said I did not have priority.exe (but do and it is recognized on the parameters page). Tried again and it still shows priority.exe is missing.
Now it seems everything needed is set up so I started trying things. Noticed under 'View' on the toolbar, you can open a log window at the bottom and see what is going on under the hood. At the beginning it shows loading and testing various components. There were 2 it did not find: 'rxtnsion not loaded' and 'Voix not found'. I went to Hobbes and found Voix and installed, but could not find any 'rxtnsion'. At least now it finds Voix.
Thanks for creating AVxCAT! It is amazingly comprehensive and so somewhat complex - will spend some more time trying it out.
Regards,
EDIT: The problem with priority.exe is that I did not reboot after installing FM2UTILS. Apparently, it adds the path to FM2UTILS to LIBPATH and AVxCAT uses that to find priority.exe.
