Foobar2000 Talk:How to install a component

The printable version is no longer supported and may have rendering errors. Please update your browser bookmarks and please use the default browser print function instead.

The instructions are rather vague, especially as to what happens as a result of your actions. Unanswered questions: Where do you download new components to? (anywhere) Does it matter? (no, Foobar2000 copies the contents)

Can I delete a .component file after it's been installed? (yes, absolutely)

What happens when you install a brand-new component? (Foobar2000 extracts a DLL and copies it to a subfolder under Documents and Settings\<user name>\foobar2000\user-components\)

If you have the dll only, can you install it manually? (yes - create the appropriate folder with the same name as the DLL, put the DLL in the folder, close and restart Foobar2000, go into settings/components and activate it)

How do you delete a component? (right-click the component in the component list and select "remove", or delete the component's subfolder with Foobar2000 closed)

What if the "configure selected" button is greyed out after installing a component? (then the component doesn't have any user-adjustable settings - silly for a compressor/limiter, but true)
