just updated the website and changed the Remote Setup page to have two sections.

Auto installer now live =D

Cheers,

updated the site and autoinstaller v1.1.98.

Summary of important additions:
1- Added Default MCE remote restore option, so you do not have to worry about backups anymore.
2- Added uninstall option.

change log here.

I hope it will give new users a superfast setup experience, and more time enjoying XBMC instead of having to waste so much time going through long setup pages or do their own setup from scratch =D and I bet that current users will be happy as well if they ever wish to install the custom config in a new machine.

Cheers,
EG.

I just switched from Hipporemote to this and I can't believe how much better it is. Real physical buttons are so much better than using my ipod. Every key is mapped and working flawlessly for me. This thread should be stickied.

One thing though, it wasn't clear to me that I had to install autohotkey via the instructions on the autoinstall page.. might want to give more detailed step by step type instructions there. Also wasn't sure if I had to chose 32 or 64 bit when installing autohotkey.

Its sticked In the first page on the the top thread of the windows sub forum " IR / RF Remote Controls for Windows: Links to Explanations, Tutorials, and Guides"

Great to hear the setup made it easy for you :-)
