I was able to install dwjukebox in my Pincab running Pinballx. Attached is a complete installation PDF guide for installing it. There are about 16 steps you have to take to get this working, including compiling several small programs and a lot of configuration. I decided to create a complete graphical guide as there is a lot to do to make this work. Just take one step at a time and walk through it and it should work. I installed it on an XP machine so there maybe a few quirks for your own system but I think this will bring you close enough to the solution that you will be able to get it going. The solution was to configure it the exact same way that Future Pinball or Visual Pinball is configured to operate in their Games folders while at the same time, configuring PinballX so it has additional folders for Jukebox just like it does for Visual Pinball and Future Pinball. Other features have to be added like shutting down the jukebox when exiting and eliminating a few other things that happen in PinballX like closing servers that don't close when exiting a Visual Pinball game, or eliminating the problem of the visual pinball editor popping up on top of a table if the table's resources are so large that loading it causes a delay and the wrong window ends up on top. What is in this guide will solve these problems too even though they don't relate to the jukebox, they are part of the full installation. I realized after uploading this guide that there is an error in PART TWO that describes the folder name for the xml file. below is the correction. PART TWO – CREATING THE PINBALLX FOLDER STRUCTURE AND PROGRAMS 1. Create a folder “C:\PinballX\Databases\Jukebox” and 2. Create a file “Jukebox.xml” inside of folder “C:\PinballX\Databases\Jukebox” and place this single entry in it: <menu> <game name="jukebox"> <description>jukebox</description> <manufacturer>dwjukebox</manufacturer> <year>2013</year> <type>SS</type> <hidedmd>True</hidedmd> <hidebackglass>False</hidebackglass> <enabled>True</enabled> <rating>0</rating> </game> </menu> Jukebox.pdf
