I had errors along the...

Whoo...I have to resurrect this really old thread since I ran into the same issue on the current build (1.2.2.0) running on a Windows 7 Home Premuim 32Bit edition (fully patched and no Anti Virus software running). Sometimes MP took a really long time to start up or the TV ran out of sync. The mentioned WMI service was blocking one...

merci1983 TARGETDIR is just a hint how to set a different path. You could write TARGETDIR="E:\HTPC Test\MP" or just leave the parameter for default.
