Error While Trying To Install MediaPortal 1.7.1 (1 Viewer)

[Lachlan Benson]

I have a Windows Home server and auto-updates. Everything updated. Check System Components - all fine.
I guess you don't know what it is...

Can you use the WatchDog with option 1 as described in the above link?
Then post the full zip with logs here, otherwise it's not much more then an 'educated guess'

I tried to run debug mode, and I did report to MediaPortal but it said MediaPortal has never been configured. And then it launched the configuration and crashed on open. Same error message as my first post. MP is being a big pain

Did you check if the path "C:\Users\LachlanAdmin\AppData\Local\Temp\MediaPortal Installation\deploy" actually exists?

 

[Lachlan Benson]

It doesn't exist... Just checked

Okay, well that explains the exception.
Are you running the installer with admin privileges?
What happens if you manually create the directory?

I typed in the admin password to run the installation. I'm not installing under an Administrator profile though.

What happens if you manually create the directory?

I doubt that would work because It is looking for MediaPortal Installation\deploy which I assume would be a file

Your assumption is wrong.
