[QUOTE="wiyosaya, post: 1295443, member: 145864"] Yes, you are correct. I had not tried a clean/fresh install of 1.32 x64 final. Unfortunately, I did not see your instructions here to try a 1.32 x64 clean/fresh install before I tried installing 1.31 32bit. So I installed 1.31 32-bit, and did a channel scan, then a channel mapping. 1.31 32bit seems to work fine. I then tried to upgrade to 1.32 x64, and the install did not give me the option of doing an upgrade - it was greyed out. See the attached screenshot. After some inbetween stuff that I cannot enumerate, I uninstalled 1.31 32bit, uninstalled the remnants of 1.32 X64, uninstalled MySQL, LAV Filters, and deleted all the folders you listed. I then tried to clean/fresh install 1.32 X64, and got the exact same screen as below. I chose clean/fresh install, and proceeded to reinstall. When the install came to MySQL, I then got an error message from the install that said that it could not start MySQL. I tried to manually start MySQL and that also caused an exception. I then said OK to the installer's MySQL start exception and got a message that the installer failed to install MySQL, and then the "Thank you for installing MediaPortal" screen. At this point, my frustration has reached its limit. Due to time constraints, I will simply install 1.32 32 bit cross my fingers, and go from there with the attempt to bring up this new PC. Apologies, however, I just don't have the time to make any further efforts to get X64 working properly. 1.32 X64 pre-release mostly seemed to work and maybe there's something in the registry that is not being cleaned up - thus the "reinstall" dialog that keeps coming up.
