How do I unstall Version 0.2.0.4?

sweden · 2006-11-12, 22:45

version 0.2.0.0
Windows Xp Pro

The thread title should be "How do I update to Version 0.2.1?"

Perhaps ridiculous, but I can't seem to update my media portal. When looking at the instalation notes it says:

"execute the MediaPortal-update.exe and point it to your 0.2 install directory"

I do not understand what that means but when I simply run the setup file (0.2.1) I get an error message saying:

"Another version of this product is already installed. Installation of this version cannot continue..."

Could someone please tell me how to update?

Thank you for a great program!

Hi,

MP version 0.2.1.0 is a full installation and not an update. You have to uninstall MP 0.2.0.4. If you want to keep your settings, take a look here:

thanks for your quick response. I tried the method and lets see how it holds up. I am sure there will be no prob!

I am greatful for all the work that has been done to create this awesome program and I am looking forward to try out the new features. But in the future, perhaps installing a new version can be made simpler? I understand that it´s not just an update, but installing sp2 is really no more than a click? (ok here we go, diehard people bashing me for comparing to ms...) As for now I suppose that mediaportal is mostly used by tech nerds, but this great program should be available to everyone regardless of the level of the user, or rather a user that is very lazy and used to the old "click ok to continue"...

Once again, thanks for a great program and continue the great effort!

Hi,

the installation process of 0.2.0.4 on 0.2.0.0 was easier. One Click to run the Updater.

But sometime the changes from one version to another are just to big. An update process then can lead to various bugs. So its safer to do a clean install.
