[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1288501, member: 141969"] Unfortunately we are still experiencing headwinds. :( I restored my 64-bit Win 7 drive image, performed a first-time install of MP 1.29, and then installed the updates. I checked the sqlite files in the MP folder in "Program Files" (see screen shot in zip file). I confirmed that the MP database folder was empty, and that there was no "MediaPortal.xml". I then started "MP Config", but I did not make any changes. On exit, there were a couple of pop-ups warning me that TV Server would not work because some setup values were undefined. I checked that there was now a "MediaPortal.xml" file and database files in the MP database folder, and started MP. The "Home" panel appeared, but I exited immediately using ALT_F4. The MP log file is included in the zip file, and it seems to show the same or a similar error as previously: [INDENT][I]CreateDatabase is not supported by the provider.[/I][/INDENT] I started "MP Config" again and browsed around. "Videos", "Music", and "Pictures" all have default values for their respective folders and various other settings. Strangely, although I selected QUIT to exit "MP Config", the "MediaPortal.xml" file was still rewritten, and it had changed (some previously null sections now had values, even though I had not changed anything). I don't think that this behaviour is desirable -- appropriate default values should be set by MP regardless of whether I have visited the relevant panels in "MP Config" (this is not related to your changes, of course). -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
