Sitecore media conversion tool not installing

Question

Or, alternately, I'm not doing something right. I install this module (http://trac.sitecore.net/MediaConversionTool/#), but then visits to

http://localhost/sitecore modules/media conversion tool

return a Sitecore 404 (the page you get when the Sitecore handler doesn't know what to do with your request). I've made sure that /sitecore modules/media conversion tool is in the IgnoreURLPrefixes list. What else would I be missing?

This tool is supposed to help migrate files from app_data into the database, and vice versa. I don't think, though, that the issue is with the tool. It's with the install, I think, and I'm guessing that there's some step I haven't covered. This is the first time I've tried to install a sitecore package.

Answer 1

The Media Conversion Tool is installed as a Sitecore application. You should open it from inside the Sitecore client under the start-button -> all applications -> Media conversion tool. As it is a XAML application, it can't be openend through the url you are using.
