Thanks for putting this great tool together! However, I had difficulties getting XBMC Launcher running properly in my user account.

First, the custom reg entry did not survive a reboot after multiple reinstallation attempts. I discovered that if I removed the backup reg table, the custom reg key was able to survive a reboot. For whatever reason, while the reg import was successful each time, it kept reverting to the backup.

Secondly, the custom keyboard XML gets installed into the admin's user app data folder. So, XMBC running in the user account does not see the custom XML. I simply copied and pasted the custom XML into the user account's app data folder. Wouldn't it be better to simply overwrite the XML in the XBMC application data folder instead?

Third, the startup shortcut is installed only in the admin's startup folder, so I simply pasted a copy into the user account's startup folder. Wouldn't it be better to install as a reg entry in the startup area or as a shortcut in the default startup folder which affects all users?

Now that I'm up and running, I can imagine that this would have been much more difficult for others with less troubleshooting skills who also run XBMC in the user account.

I don't know why the registry setting is not saved on reboot. XBMCLauncher writes to the registry only once during installation. May be you have some kind of system monitor software like sandboxie installed that reverts the system to last state.

May be you installed xbmclauncher in admin user account. Overwriting the xml file in xbmc installation will work, but we don't want to mess with installation files.

Startup on login can be added to registry also instead of startup folder, but this launcher was basically designed to set as shell replacing explorer. Also it is easier for a user to remove the startup folder shortcut if he does not want xbmclauncher to start automatically.

Hi baijuxavior

i have added a nice function to use DVBViewer with XBMCLauncher.

The difference between normal apps and my DVBViewer addon is that the script can also check if the window is minimized.
Most users only minimize the window and disable the tuner in DVBViewer to go back to XBMC.
I have added an option (only for DVBViewer) to give the focus back to XBMC if the DVBViewer window is minimized.

If it is possible please add the function in your code. So that you would save me a lot of work with new versions of XBMCLauncher

I don't have DVBViewer, but it can be added to the tool in the next version. Thanks for your efforts.
