Hacking Best Way to Mod Any Wii: ModMii for Windows: Official Support Thread

[XFlak]

where is modmii saved? C:\ModMii?

edit: I've tried it over 5 times now successfully every time. Can you try ModMii v5.0.0 and see if u still have the problem there?

Anyone else reading this plz try to duplicate the problem, it's very weird that it's working for some but not others.

edit: What OS you guys using?

 

[person66]

Both those work fine for me as well. Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit here.

@XFlak
Just wanted to say that if you choose to install modmii in another place than "c:\modmii" it still gonna be a directory created at c:\modmii with the wbfs manager program, maybe you could change this in some kind of way, I mean the reason you choose not to install in directly in the root of c: is to not have anything "extra" there.

Edit: Using a old laptop with XP.

Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate
C:\users\Lucif3r\Desktop\ModMii, the same location Ive had it since I used it for the very first time
Also Ive never had any issue with modmii, this is actually the first reported bug that "worked" for me too (ok I havnt exactly checked every reported bug, but out of those Ive tried)

Oh ye, deleting the temp folder didnt help.

But cmon XFlak, its random bugs like this that makes coding fuuuuun! ... Right? ... Right!?

edit: oh ye, one thing that might have something to do with this bug; I didnt update from the previous version to the latest... I was still on 4.x something, quite late build but not the latest in the 4.x serie.
Maybe some file/line of code got lost during the giant leap?

 

[XFlak]

I agree with u on that, in the next update when PC programs are downloaded with local save settings (or possibly Auto) they will be saved to a Program Files folder wherever ModMii.exe is saved instead of always [Homedrive]:\ModMii\Program Files

re. your edit... why u telling me your OS? You do any testing re. the above issue(s)?


edit:

@Lucif3r,
Can you try a fresh installation of ModMii?

btw, I'm also running win 7 64bit ultimate and it's working fine for me

 

[D34DL1N3R]

Was gone for most of the day but can do some testing now. I am on Win7 Ultimate x64 and ModMii installed to C:/Program Files (x86)/ModMii. Will do a complete uninstall and clean reinstall to the same location first. If the problem still exists I will un/reinstall to C:/ModMii and try again.

Edit: Tried both methods above and both scenerios still failed. Will now try 5.0.0.

 

[raeter]

please help, i cant install neek2o channel. i get "1 did not complete" - ticket (-2011). how do i fix this?

Edit: Tried both methods above and both scenerios still failed. Will now try 5.0.0.

Edit 2: Same problems on 5.0.0. Guess I'll try lower, and just to make things easier I'll keep it at C:/ModMii
I am also getting some error messages as can be seen in the screenshots, they occured on all versions tested thus far (4.8.2, 5.0.0 and 5.1.1)

Edit 3: Tried 4.8.2 and the results are still the same. Although with 4.8.2 I get this screen (3rd image) after the last step in my first scenerio - even though I had chosen in the wizard to download recommended cIOS's and IOS236.

Successful softmod here, thanks to all who make possible modmii.

 

[D34DL1N3R]

Update. Thus far I've tried the following:

4.6.0
4.6.1
4.7.0
4.7.1
4.7.4
4.8.2
5.0.0
5.1.1

4.6.0 and 4.6.1 were the only two that carried out the two scenerios correctly. Everything else gave the results mentioned in my initial post on page 367 and as confirmed by Lucif3r.

 

[XFlak]

phew, for a second you had me worried that there was a bug in ModMii, but now seeing your screenshots I'm confident that the problem is with one of your windows system variables. Please try the solution posted here and let me know if that fixes your problems:
http://gbatemp.net/topic/207126-modmii-for-windows/page__st__4995__p__3980992#entry3980992

@raeter,
reload to IOS236 before trying to install the channel.

@raeter,
reload to IOS236 before trying to install the channel.

dunno how it changed but ty, it fixed!

There are a lot of entries in the path.
C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\Xuggle\bin;C:\Program Files\Intel\Media SDK 2012 Beta5\bin\x64;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files (x86)\QT Lite\QTSystem;C:\Program Files (x86)\Wiimm\WIT

%SystemRoot%\system32 is already in the list. Won't it cause problems for all of the other stuff listed in the path if I delete them all and just have the one entry?

 

[windrider]

Hey Xflak

This is an excellent program. I just used it too update my Wii that is on 4.3u with a softmod, and WiiKey 2

Works perfectly

I used to just Nusdownloader to get what I needed. I haven't updated since like Sept 2010 or something like that.

I have sent a donation as well. Will pm you.

%PATH%
This variable contains a semicolon-delimited (do not put spaces in between) list of directories in which the command interpreter will search for an executable file that matches the given command. Equivalent to the Unix $PATH variable.

it should only impact you when using running a cmd window (which most people do not do). And even then it doesn't matter much. For example, if you open a cmd window and it's running from your desktop, with your current settings you will be able to send commands to wit (ie. "wit command") without having to tell windows where to find "wit". If you change the settings back to default (ie. "%SystemRoot%\system32") then if you want to send cmd line instructions to wit you would have to be running the cmd window where wit is saved or specify the full path in the command (ie. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Wiimm\WIT command").

I've never tried this before, but you could try just moving "%SystemRoot%\system32" to the start of the list and seeing if that fixes the problem. If it doesn't, I'd say just go ahead and change the whole thing.

@windrider,
Thanks for the postive feedback and the donation! I sent you an email with more info. Thanks again!

Ok weird. That actually worked. I wonder though... Since I havnt had this issue ever before, is there any reason why this started to happen now?
I have not installed any cmd-based apps since last time I used modmii (and it worked), so the path line hasnt changed.
And unlike d34d, I didnt get any syntax spam in the cmd window, and 'ping' worked in cmd just fine

Well, at least it works now

 

[D34DL1N3R]

Yeah, ping worked fine for me too, outside of ModMii. But it all works now. I saved my original path(s) incase I run into any problems with other apps. Thanks for the help! And... I sent a donation.

Edit: Just for the hell of it, I tried replacing my original PATH variables but moved %SystemRoot%\system32 to the start as you had mentioned. ModMii still working great!

Edit: How do I skip the credits after making the donation, or will that be included with the "Easter Egg" I should be receiving?

Modmii exits and no files are copied to COPY_TO_SD\WAD


Also...

From main menu select W for wizard
Select N to only download specific items
Enter 4.3 for current SM

USBLoader(s)-ahbprot58-SD-USB-v11b-IDCL-Forwarder Paths.txt

I see you have it fixed, but I replicated it as well and it worked fine for me. I am running Windows 7 x64 Ultimate. I have ModMii installed to C:/modmii

@windrider,
Thanks for the postive feedback and the donation! I sent you an email with more info. Thanks again!

Your Welcome , and Thank you for the email info. Much appreciated.

 

[XFlak]

sweet! the bug wasn't really a bug after all I'm happy I don't have to put out a bugfix update (I hate putting out bugfix updates )

I really need to add the 2 common ModMii problems ppl have to the first post (small modmii window and 'X' not recognized as an internet or external command). There's a lot of other changes that need to be done to update the first post and I keep procrastinating. Updating the first post and bugfix updates... so boring, lol.

@D34DL1N3R, I sent you an email & PM. Thanks for your donation mate! Enjoy!

 

[DeadlyFoez]

Or just have ModMii run a check for the environment variable and prompt the user to correct it, or have modmii fix it for the user. Can you do that?
