Fails to install the pymiere_link.zxp in Adobe Extension Manager. #3

Closed BigRoy closed 4 years ago

Issue

I can't seem to install the pymiere_link.zxp through Adobe Extension Manager UI for the latest version of Adobe Premiere Pro - or I am incorrectly trying to install the file.

Any pointers on how to get this to work? I'm on Adobe Premiere Pro 2020 on Windows 10.

Hi @BigRoy, Thanks for reporting this issue. I haven't yet tested Pymiere with Premiere Pro 2020. I will install the latest version, test the extension and let you know as soon as I find the problem.

Hi, I'm also on Adobe Premiere Pro 2020 on Windows 10. I use zxp installer (https://aescripts.com/learn/zxp-installer/) worked fine for me.

I don't know if it's only for my config, but the python environment must be at least 3.7, cause on 3.6 got an issue with => from subprocess import check_output

Also, got issue with the get_installed_software_info() function inside exe_utils, the function returned a bad path or incomplete

so in get_installed_software_info() function I changed: exe_path = last_version_info["InstallLocation"] into: exe_path = last_version_info["InstallLocation"]+'\' +last_version_info["DisplayName"]

Cause in Premiere Pro 14.x the path returned in "InstallLocation" is incomplete

But anyway it's a very usefull tool. Congratulation !

Hi @BigRoy , I looked into the problem, tried installing the official Vimeo extension for a test and ran into the same issue. I looked at the installation instructions and found that statement from Adobe: Do not use Adobe Extension Manager for CC2015 or later compatible Adobe apps. It is no longer supported and may create install issues. Use a third party utility for extension installation My usual method of installation (using ExManCmd) worked fine for Premiere 2020. I updated the installation instructions in the readme to reflect these discovery. Can you please try one of the methods and let me know if it worked?

Hi @bryhimself , Thanks for the zxp installer method, I added it to the readme installation instructions! I'm creating a new issue for the get_installed_software_info wrong path and the python 3.6 compatibility so this issue is dedicated to installation problems

I can confirm that this worked for me too. Good stuff!
