OK - I'll try that in a few days time and let you know.

Hi,

Sorry to stumble at the first hurdle, but I am no windows expert. I don't understand your regedit syntax.

I understand I need a new "App Paths" key (which doesn't exist in a clean wine registry) but I don't understand what the rest is. Are they keys, data, strings? What syntax is "@="?

I'm using regedit (from winetricks).

Can you post a .reg file so I can just run that?

TreeNode, thantks for the idea, I'm trying !!

As I use "playonlinux", this won't work as you have the path to the standard wine in the mpe.js file.
Time to clone my VM and try a dry Wine installation...

Zitat:

1. Create Reg-Entrie:

Code:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\thunderbird.exe]
@="C:\\Program Files\\Mozilla Thunderbird\\thunderbird.bat"
"Path"="C:\\Program Files\\Mozilla Thunderbird"

Pastim, you start by creating the new key (right click on the "App Path" label on the left) that you name "thunderbird.exe".
Then, in this key, you have a default value. This is the "@", you edit this entry and add the path to the "installation" directory.
Then, on the right panel, you right-click and choose "new/string" that you'll name "Path" and edit the value to the Thunderbird directory.

OK - Thanks - got that bit done.
One more problem. I cannot find the MyPhoneExplorer add-on for thunderbird. I have no idea why - I have installed it in the past in the wine version. Searching in thunderbird add-ons gets no result. Can you find it? Is it to do with being a linux version?

The MyPhoneExplorer-Addon is in the Folder of MyPhoneexplorer. it is a .xpi file.

I have now got it all installed, DLLs registered and so on, and mpe runs.

When I try to set up the contacts (or calendar) folder to sync it says "Folder Structure from Thunderbird cannot be listed". Any ideas?

Anmeldedatum: 17.06.2011 Beiträge: 85

When I start up and connect I see the correct calendar and contacts on my phone.

When I try to set the sync options for my calendar, looking at the log I get:

20:58:25.01 ListCalendars, Profile=default

can you post the Reg-Entries and Subentriy of

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MyPhoneExporer

I will in a while. However, I wonder if I have been a bit dim. When creating the previous reg entries I read the paths as needing single \ characters, not double ones, and without the leading a trailing " marks. Was that wrong?

OK - here it is:

Language - English.ing
PathToExe - C:\Program Files\MyPhoneExplorer\MyPhoneExplorer.exe
Users - 203F............

And under Mozilla:

Default - (value not set)
Calendar - moz-profile-calendar://
MozillaAddressBooks - C:\users\crusty\Application Data\MyPhoneExplorer\MozillaAddressBooks
MozillaCalendars - C:\users\crusty\Application Data\MyPhoneExplorer\MozillaCalendars
MozillaItems - C:\users\crusty\Application Data\MyPhoneExplorer\MozillaItems

None of the last three files exist in C:\users\crusty\Application Data\MyPhoneExplorer\
Mind you, they don't exist in my old wine setup either, so I'm not sure what this means.

I thought I had found the problem. I have several wine configurations, and the extension code you supplied mentions .wine twice. I have changed this to match my wine directory. However I still get the same error.

I found a way to get it all to work on my system.

I installed a clean 32 bit .wine system and inslalled mpe to that. It was initially reluctant to read the thunderbird directories (giving errors about accessing them), but after a couple of tries it seemed to settle down and now runs OK.

Thanks very much indeed. This is an excellent simplification for running on linux.

I've had the same error you had.

but I run a 64bits system, as MPE is installed in "C:\Program Files (x86)\MyPhoneExplorer'.

And just like you, I started working out of nowhere after a while ??
Maybe it's about the authorisation you give to the plug-in in Thunderbird ? On first run, there is a confirmation asked in TBird, I don't see it in the Linux install ?

The only thing that will be missing on Linux would be the notes sync ? I use Davical to sync everything (Android syncs events and tasks through MPE to keep the categories...), but I haven't found a vNotes server yet.
