[Flac-users] RE: [Flac-announce] Winamp not in default directory

Re-Installing winamp, then re-installing Flacfrontend worked.
Seekable .flac files are now able to be played in winamp.
Thanks fellas!

Yup... I troubleshooted this with Chris already... seems he didn't
actually install Winamp, but just created a shortcut to winamp.exe to
launch the program.  This means that there is no winamp info in the
Windows registry, thus, the installer doesn't think winamp is installed,
and it skips the Winamp plugin install.  Even if I had the installer check
the default install location (\program files\winamp\plugins\) it wouldn't
have helped in this case  :\

The resolution is to actually install winamp, reboot, then run the flac
installer (again).
