That was my fear exactly, driver issues... Only way to find out is test it I guess

You're right about that one. But this isn't the hardest part to get right on a MP install. With the full release there'll be probably some simple guide with steps.

And here we go. The alpha pack is ready! (couldn't call it beta, really no testing done already )
MediaPortal pre-packed hotseat installation (Aeon Wide skin). It's hosted on my server at my place. This comes at a price:
- this thing is not online all the time (it is now )
- It has an upload rate of maximum 100KB/s. With these huge packs it'll take some time to download.

The most important thing of all is that the first two things you install (order doesn't mather, just do it before the fanart packs etc.):
- mediaportal_hotseat_install.exe. Do NOT change the directory.
- documents_settings.exe. Do NOT change the directory.

After that the packs can be installed and should get installed at the right place (at least like I set before if you don't fiddle with the dir).
I'll try this out on a friends system as soon as I have the time and see how it goes (will keep you guys updated here in this thread).
In the meantime you guys could test it out for yourself offcourse but I haven't tested this thoroughly. It seems to work ok (again not 100% sure) on my XP system, Vista could be a whole different ball game (no experience with MP and Vista). I tried to make it generic with dirs such as %programfiles"and %ALLUSERSPROFILE%

If you're already running MP then I would recommend you not to use these packs!!!
