I've been away from XBMC for a week or so, so this problem may be a little late to the party. Sorry. I've searched back through the posts and didn't see any comments exactly the same.
I have a number of standalone launchers set up that worked just fine up through 1.10.15, but all but one since 1.10.16 have been broken (and still are). They are:
iexplore.exe -- just to pop up an ie window, close by normal mouse control
iexplore.exe -k
http://netflix.com -- to pop up N web interface, close by Ctrl-W
iexplore.exe -k
http://youtube.com -- to open youtube web interface, close by Ctrl-W
ehome\ehshell.exe /nostartupanimation /homepage:videoguide.xml /pushstatpage:true -- to open WMC live TV guide, closed by exiting WMC
All of these EXCEPT the Netflix launcher are accessed through the Adv Launcher list. The Netflix laucher was set as a favorite and placed on the home menu line (Aeon Nox). These all worked as designed and normally returned focus to XBMC on closure.
The WMC launcher appears to work ok.
Since 1.10.16 all of the iexplore launchers fail. The ones accessed through the Adv L list "appear" to not be doing anything, the Netflix favorite moves focus to Windows, opens an Adv Launcher message that states "Opening Script" and just sits there. If I click cancel it cancels and returns focus to XBMC. I tried these under Confluence and behavior was the same.
This behavior was the same through 1.10.19.
For laughs, I created a shortcut .lnk of the Netflix launcher and created a standalone launcher for it. Using 1.10.16, this laucher opens a "script failed!: addon.py" window. However using 1.10.19, this .lnk laucher works correctly.
While it appears (haven't done it yet) that I could convert all of my IE launchers to .lnk setups, it might be preferrable to have this behavior corrected if possible.
Short of that, is it possible to turn the Angelscry Repository service off? I took a quick look, but didn't see anything obvious on how to do this.
My setup is:
Win 7 64b fully patched
XBMC Eden (compiled 3/2/2012)
Angelscry repository 1.2.2 (I think, can't find a reference in XBMC)
Advanced Launcher 1.10.15-19
Aeon NOX
Thanks for all the great work.
