Hi everybody. Hope someone here can help, as I'm tearing my hair out after a disastrous attempt at updating a working installation of MP 1.2.3 to 1.3.0. Basically, the installer crashed during installation and afterwards it kept crashing on repeated attempts to reinstall. I tried everything but ended up having to do a clean install, which wasn't easy as the uninstallers still leave stuff behind even when you choose the full clean option. In particular, MYSQL wasn't uninstalled properly and I had to delete everything left behind manually. I had a lovely, stable system until yesterday and have now lost all my settings and data and had to start again.

As if that wasn't enough, I now cannot change the Recording Folder location in the TV server configuration. When I click the Browse button I get an error dialog:

"Failed to locate assembly 'System.Data.SQLite, Version 1.0.66.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=db937bc2d44ff139'. Note that the configuration program must be executed from/reside in the the MediaPortal folder, the execution will now end."

The configuration program then quits. In short, AAAAAAAARRRRGGGHHH!!!!!!
