How to reinstall without remving MP first...? (1 Viewer)

[Vimes]

Hello

I have got a fully working MP 1.2.2 installed and it is working a treat.
However I have ordered my DVB-S2 card and would like to use the TV aspect of MP.
Prior to this I did use DVB Viewer for my older DVB-S card.

When my card arrives I would like to know if it is possible to add the TV server aspect of the MP installation rather than have to remove it and then reinstall it again..?
When I have tried to run the installation with MP 1.2.2 already installed it warns me that it can't continue and thus aborts the process due to the same version already installed.

So is there a working method to just add the TV functionality to the MP installation without having to remove it first, or is that something I'm going to have to do if I wish to use MP to watch TV through my new card..?
I suppose I could do a std removal, which leaves the user files etc still there, and then install again if that is the only way. If tha tis so I hope all the user settings applied would be picked up..?

I do hope that the TV functionality, and my ability to get it working with a fully populated EPG has improved since I last used it, as that was why I ended up buying the DVB viewer. But I would like to try that out.

Thanks for any advice.

Hi

In the deploy folder, you should have a package-tvserver.exe (or something like that). You could try to run that to install TVServer.
I haven't done it myself so I cannot guarantee, but it is worth a try.

Just run installer again and chose the TV option, this will then start install skipping the bits that have already beern installed, ie MP.

Thanks for the replies

Running the application to install again does not get as far as the choice of installing the TV options as I get this...

...so that will not work as when clicked next I only get a fresh install and no TV options.

However I did find the TVEngine.exe to run from the deploy folder and it seems to work except...

...I now get the above message towards the end of the installation and I'm not sure how to proceed as it fails when I run the test option.

Not sure why but doing the above hybrid type install MySQL was not installed
so installing that and all seems well now but I will know for sure when my DVB-S2 card arrives.
