===FACT!===
the NI Service Center "WILL NOT" work without the "Macromedia Flash Plugin", but I show you how
plus having MANY copys of "NI Service Center" on your machine means nothing...what matters is the information written in the Registry".
if this still scares you having MANY copys of "ServiceCenter" installed.
install ONLY one (FUNCTIONAL ONE) and delete the extras. (example safe place: C:\Programs Files\).
==========
---ATTENTION START---
I WRITE COMMANDS in this How to if your not familuar with this lingo please DO NOT attempt them, BUT I write the exact commands for you so its NOT as scary for N00b$.
dont worry being a n00b is fun (its called LEARNING) you dont have to Live up to anything........YET
example (only for REF): ls, cp, nano, vi
YOU NEED to know how to use "VI" or install "NANO" to edit files in MUSE LINUX, or you could copy it to your USBDRIVE and edit it on our computer (takes longer but WAY SAFER).
----this enables the REGISTRY in the Remote or Monitor----
-----------------REGISTRY START------------
LOGIN to MUSE LINUX (read HOW down the page).
first backup file (DO IT!): cp -Rv /etc/sysconfig/receptor /etc/sysconfig/receptor-BAK
example one (file to drive): cp -Rv /etc/sysconfig/receptor /c/usbdrive
--EDIT THE FILE--
go to bottom of the page you will see a section that says: export MUSE_PROVIDE_REGEDIT=1
if it doesn't exist write it exactly as I put it.
------------------------
example two (file from drive to receptor): cp -Rv /c/usbdrive/receptor /etc/sysconfig/receptor
-----------------REGISTRY END---------------
"you need to upgrade to the latest Reaktor 5 version on your Windows PC first and activate.
then COPY the "Reaktor 5" folder in "C:\Program Files\Native Instuments\" to the "Unsupported" Folder.
make sure there is ONLY "four.dll" files in the "Reaktor 5" folder.
than login to Muse Linux to edit the registry from the terminal or add the Registry button hack (easyer, way easyer).
"IF" you dont already have the "REGISTRY BUTTON" login to MUSE LINUX and edit the file "/etc/sysconfig/receptor" go at the bottom of the page you will see a section that says: export MUSE_PROVIDE_REGEDIT=1
if it doesn't exist write it exactly as I put it.
----ATTENTION END----
---INSTRUCTIONS START----
1. copy the folder inside your windows compluter named: Macromed
it is inside C:\windows\system32
put it on a USB stick.
2. log in as root (turn on machine, press "e" (forever), press return, highlight "KERNEL /VMLINUZ RO ROOT=/DEV/BLAH_BLAH_BLAH", press "e", put a 1 after the ATA66 (with a space between them, press return, press "b".
3. after it has loaded put the usb stick in, cd /c, ls, you will see a "usbdrive" folder, cd into that folder than type this:
cp -Rv Macromed /c/windows/system32/
next type "reboot" (without the quotes) then yankout the usbstick when it gos black.
4. next go to your Windows computer and look in the registry.
what WE are looking for is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, HKEY_CURRENT_USER go inside "Software", Native Instuments and create "ServiceCenter" and "Reaktor 5" on the Receptor Registry.
you NEED to recreate ALL (except "SYSTEMID" and "SNO") of the reg entrys on your windows computer into the registry in Receptor.
in the SAME registry area.
make sure your "InstallDir" and "InstallVSTDIR"" paths are correct (dont forget the \ at the end of the path.).
and think Windows centric NOT unix (C:\Program Files, "not" \c\windows\Program\ Files).
then when your sure its a clone, exit the registry editor and load Reaktor and do the whole NI Service Center thingy.
P.S. you register in "offline" mode, export to unlock, load unlock file on internet ready computer, login to "NI" site, they will give you the ".naf" key, now import the file inside "ServiceCenter".
TADA!!!
its sounds hard...but its not!!!
and boy is it worth it.
props go out to"oGG" for being down for the cause!
