Launchers.xml file must be located into C:\Users\myUser\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\addon_data\plugin.program.advan​ced.launcher\ folder, where myUser is the directory of the user using XBMC.

Your batch file must be :

Code:

C:\Program Files (x84)\Opera\opera.exe

BTW, in a normal use you do not even need a batch file : http://www.gwenael.org/xbmc/index.php?ti...ra#Windows

As i referred i'm using a HTPC that it is the xtreamer ultra 2.

I use my desktop as the source for everything (movies, music, net, etc.)
I searched in my desktop and in the roaming folder i don't have XBMC.
I think i must look in the HTPC that has the XBMC and the confluence skin, but i don't know how.
Thanks you

And opera is installed on your HTPC or on your Desktop? If it is installed into your Desktop it is normal that it is not working from your HTPC. You cannot start applications that are installed on another system. The only exception are portable applications. So now you have 2 solutions :

• Install Opera on your HTPC. Which operating sytem is installed on your HTPC? Windows 7? OpenELEC?
  
• Install portable version of Opera on your Desktop. You will found portable version here : http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/opera_portable/

OpenElec is a Linux based operating System. You cannot directly start Windows applications from Linux operating system. If you want to still use OpenElec you must install the linux version of Opera on your HTPC.

Sorry, I don't speak english very well.
Here is my problem, I made a script to run GameEx frontend:

Code:

pssuspend XBMC.exe
cd "D:\GameEx\"
GameEx.exe
pssuspend -r XBMC.exe
nircmd win setsize process XBMC.exe 0 0 1920 1080

launchers.xml

Windows Seven 64 + XBMC Eden 11.0

And everything works fine, but when I come back in XBMC, it shows me the Windows taskbar. Even putting the command "NirCmd win" with Max, activate, enable, or focus ...
Please help me, this is really binding to click on the bar to activate the xbmc window

[mandrake00]

How do i do that, please?

I don't know. I don't use OpenElec. But you will surely have a better support how install third party programs on OpenElec distribution (like Opera) on the dedicated forum : http://openelec.tv/forum

Ok, thank you very much for all your help.

I gave a look and i think it's a bit complicated to install foreign apps.
It's better i install windows 7.

This recurrent problem occurs with last version of XBMC on Windows 7 systems. It is due to a difficulty of XBMC to regain correctly focus after been minimized. You can try some things to fix this :

1. If not already done, activate the Use a fullscreen window rather than true fullscreen option that is present into XBMC system settings.
   
2. If it is not working, go into the Advanced modifications menu of your launcher and change the Toogle Fullscreen option.
   
3. If it is not even working, last option is to create an autoit script that will force XBMC to maximize correctly. Script must be something like this (not tested) :
   
   Code:

   Run ( 'pssuspend XBMC.exe' )
Run ( 'D:\GameEx\GameEx.exe','', ' 'D:\GameEx\' )
ProcessWaitClose ( "GameEx.exe" )
Run ( 'pssuspend -r XBMC.exe' )
WinSetState("XBMC", "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)

1. It's already done
2. not working
3. I don't want to install another program to find a solution, especially that there is only the problem with GameEx, and i'm not sure that autoit working...

Hi,
Another question :
All my roms are compressed in .7z, but all emulators does not support that... Unless if I use GameEx, but I wish to use only ADV Launcher...
I have found this thread about zip file http://www.gwenael.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=252 but I can't seem to make it work because I don't understant the code.
Please send me an exemple of launchers.xml with bsnes and 7zip in c:/program files (x86)/7-zip ?

Are you using the last version of Advanced Launcher (1.8.10) ?

As described into your referenced thread, the working .bat script is :

Code:

pssuspend XBMC.exe
start /wait 7z e %1 -o%2
start /wait bsnes.exe %3.sfc
del %3.sfc
pssuspend -r XBMC.exe

The .bat script must be located into the same folder than the bsnes.exe executable file. Forthe launcher configuration :

application : path to the .bat script
arguments : "%rom%" "%appath%" "%romname%"
files extention : 7z

Of course, 7z software must be installed on your system. But I think this script was working only for versions of BSNES before 0.9. Following versions are now based on games grouping instead of files grouping (http://byuu.org/bsnes/game-folders). Also, I'm not sure that the current SNES 7z compressed files still supported by these new versions of BSNES.
