Title: NSM Auto Install in Windows XP
Post by: davesplace on December 29, 2005, 10:54:52 AM
I recently upgraded from Windows ME to XP.  As a result I reloaded all software including NSM but now I'm experiencing a problem that's new to me and exclusive to the NSM software.  When using the internet various sites automatically lauch the auto installation for NSM.  

How do I go about fixing or disabling the auto install?

Thanks,
Dave

Apologies for bumping this 8-month-old topic, but since no one has replied yet, and I suffer the same problem as the OP, it would be most helpful if someone with knowledge and/or magic can solve our problem here.

Here's what I'm running:
Windows XP Pro SP2
NSM 1.54 for a Neuros I
Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.6
Windows Media Player 10
Java Runtime Environment/Plug-in ver. 1.4.2_11

When I visit Amazon.com and click on a song preview link, such as this one:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/music/wma-pop-up/B0009UBYRE001001/ref=mu_sam_wma_001_001/102-3277456-1036930

Clicking on the link, which should launch the Windows Media Player for streaming, instead launches a Neuros Synchronization Manager installation package installer three times in a row. Is this an NSM problem, a WMP problem, or a Java problem (NSM uses Java to operate)? The same thing happens if you launch the WMP link from within IE as well.

The resulting error box states: "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'NSM_154.msi' in the box below."

What's up, Luckychunk?!?!

I think I've run in to that type of problem as well, it wasn't with Internet links but a certain filetype which had nothing to do with NSM would launch the NSM installer.  I never figured out what was causing this but my solution was to uninstall NSM and use NDBM (http://neurosdbm.sourceforge.net/) to manage the music on my Neuros.  I'm much more satisfied with NDBM than I ever was with NSM.  You can download it here:
http://neurosdbm.sourceforge.net/

FYI: NSM runs on the .NET Framework (not Java) and NDBM is a Java app.  Your version of the JRE should run NDBM just fine.

FYII: I KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE!

Shouldn't it be possible to locate the file type associated with NSM and unassociate it to NSM? I didn't know people still used NSM.
