    I have MP 0.2 RC3 running on my HTPC, do I have to uninstall/delete it before installing RC4 because of any major changes or can I just override RC3?

    Thanks, I am really looking forward to the new release candidate 8) .

    Please make the following steps:

    - Uninstall RC3
    - Delete the Installation directory
    - Reboot PC
    - Install RC4

    Have another question regarding upgrade from RC3 to RC4.

    I have spent the last couple of days configuring my setup, so I don't want to do it again, witch files/folders do I need to backup and is it as simple as just copying them to another place and then copy them back after the RC4 install?

    Part of updates may be a slight difference in the database reading, and thats why they recommend a clean install, Yes we know it is a pain, so i would say, wait until there is some functionality you particularly want, or a bug that is affecting you, that has been resolved.
    The final release may not be too far in the distant future so have patience.

    Thanks, I made a clean reinstall and the RC4 works much better (eg starts up faster) than the RC3. I am really happy with it and look forward to the 0.2 Final release 8) .

    Great work everyone!

    O Frabjous Joy! That seems to have done the trick. Thank you so much for your help and advice, CyberSimian. I hadn't thought of deleting the various folders, but I'll bear that in mind for any future disasters. Now I can record King & Conqueror on Sunday! Cheers Ralph

    Shame on me. That's it. I forgot that this computer was still running the 32-bit version of MP. From now on, I will no longer do updates in the morning :).
