Had some time today and after a bit of trial and error, I got this plug-in working on Windows 7 64bit with a cheapo Ortek VRC-1100 (aka Hama MCE, aka Adesso ARC-110, etc...) remote.

First let me thank everyone in this thread, there were lot of good bits here that helped me piece this together.

Base software installed for this was:

Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
MediaPortal 1.0.4.23491 (1.1 BETA-1)
Recompile of Generic Keyboard/Remote Input Plug-in 2.1.0.0 by disaster123
1.1.0 uses the \ProgramData directory structure for custom data, I think this is where most go wrong with this.

Copy the two .dll files to C:\Program Files (x86)\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\plugins\process
Copy the MCE keyboard.xml to C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\InputDeviceMappings
Disabled all other remotes in MediaPortal Configuration
Mapped all the keys for the remote in the Keyboard Input Plug-in config in MediaPortal Configuration
Not all the buttons work, I still have some fine tuning to do, but the basic functionality is working and I can successfully use this $15 cheapo knock off remote!

That was it, hope this helps.

On a related side note, I also installed the MPTray plug-in to take control of the start button to have it start MediaPortal.
