I think i'm missing something really obvious here - I've installed the package on 4.5.2 on IIS7, checked that the .air mime time was added in IIS as well as Umbraco's web.config, but I don't see the the desktop uploader icon when i navigate to the media section. Where should I be looking?

PS I'm willing to lay odds that immediately after posting this I'll figure it out...
So it works just fine on my WinXP development machine, just not on IIS7/Server2008. The only difference I can see is that on the server, the website files are located on a second drive, D: instead of C: . Also it's an Amazon EC2 cloud machine.
I would probably suggest to take a look in the config > dashboards.config and make sure the dashboard control has been registered correctly (If you have it installed on one server correctly, I'd just take a look at that config file to see how it should be).
Actually just found that. Turns out the installer didn't modify dashboards.config (permissions?), so I copied in the bit from the working install, and everthing works just fine - app installs, files upload successfully, etc. Ideally the installer would let the user know when unable to edit this file.
Here's the bit to add to dashboards.config in case this helps anyone else:
<section alias="DesktopMediaUploader"> <areas> <area>media</area> </areas> <tab caption="Desktop Media Uploader"> <control>/usercontrols/desktopmediauploader/dashboard.ascx</control>
</tab> </section>
Thanks - this tool will be very helpful for our producers!
Can't see uploader after install
Hello,

Hi Andrew,
I would probably suggest to take a look in the config > dashboards.config and make sure the dashboard control has been registered correctly (If you have it installed on one server correctly, I'd just take a look at that config file to see how it should be).
Give that a go and let me know how you get on.
Cheers
