I am trying to install MP2 on my windows 7 "New machine" which is actually quite old but has (up to now) only had windows media centre on it

According to the manual 'http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/2_MEDIAPORTAL_2/1_Getting_Started/2_Installing_MediaPortal_2'
MediaPotal 2 specific requirements
MediaPortal 2 is developed to run on modern operating systems and supports only Windows 7 in both 32 and 64 bit versions. Older operating systems are not officially supported.

You need the most current DirectX 9 runtime installed, which you can download here: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en...ang=en&id=8109 (June 2010).
I have downloaded the file given and installed DXSETUP.exe

BUT MP2 will not install -> message "MP2 requires NET4 full to be installed"

i have obviously not understood what i am doing and would appreciate guidennce

Hi
In the FAQ you can read

You also need to install the following software components. You only need to install the full or the webinstaller, not both.
  • .NET Framework 4.0 Full (full installer, web installer)
  • DirectX 9.0c End-User Runtimes (June 2010) (full installer, web installer)

We are already working to automatically download and install these components during the MediaPortal 2 installation.

//Edit
I have updated the wiki.

Thanks very much

i would suggest in the wiki you recommend which net to install (full or the webinstaller) for dumb bunnies like me

I have now installed MP2.
  1. But the video plays with no display - Should I start a new thread for this?
  2. Is there a solved button to show that you have solved the problem?
  3. Thanks
