Hello, again. Unfortunately, my attempts to install 1.2.0 beta have been completely futile.

I get the error "Failed to install application [MediaPortal 1.2.0 Beta]" (everything else succeeds).
Interestingly, the install folder is created and MediaPortal runs and I can browse movies and such (although Start menu shortcuts are never created) ... but two issues are apparent:

1. Clicking on "Browse and install new plugins" does not work. It does nothing at all. Double-clicking, right-clicking, etc.

2. Attempting to execute mpe1 files directly or by dragging them onto MP executables doesn't seem to work either.

I tried a number of things....
- Uninstalling MP 1.1.3, installing "fresh install" with defaults (no tv option) of 1.2.0
- Attempting to install 1.2.0 into c:\MediaPortal120\
- Installing MP 1.1.3 and then choosing upgrade option

All seem to have the same result. I need to get to a family get-together but I googled this also and I didn't see a solution.
Perhaps I should open a different thread for this issue, but any help/suggestions are so welcome!

Thanks.
