I don't think this is an issue with ANY system configuration... I was using two computers to test the SVN and Patch philosophy... I can load a fresh RC2 and the latest SVN, or "Nightly Build" and MP works... but if I load a fresh RC2 and the latest Update, or Patch it loses a bunch of the GENERAL submenus (first will be 'skins') in the configuration and opens/closes when trying to run the main MP program after running the configuration.

MAYBE I'm not doing something right... but the wiki READS like these should work -- that using a 'stable' patch is less risky for repairing 'known' bugs. Thing is, there doesn't seem to be any list of what's a known bug... just the changelog for the nightly builds. BTW, I'm doing a REMOVE RC2 in between... so my starting point is clean. OH.. I also tried using the REPAIR option but it was no better -- same results. And my XP2 load is up to date.

Can someone help me... either I'm doing something wrong or there's an issue with MediaPortal-update-0.2.0.4.exe

Hi,
You can't use MediaPortal-update-0.2.0.4.exe with MP 0.2.3.0 RC2, that stable patch was for MP 0.2.0.
The correct it's to install MP 0.2.3.RC2 + latest SVN & then configure..

Regards
Roy

I suppost if that's accurate then the MP Guru's haven't used the Patch/Update process in over a year. The odd thing is that the file date is current, see below:

MediaPortal-update-0.2.0.4.exe 2961 KB 2007-10-15 18:26

With that I'll give it a rest... I'm gonna assume that Roy's many posts qualifies him as an expert on this topic.

Thanks
