Is it possible to install an older version of mediaportal with leaving the current one intact?
For testing purpose.

I have tried but i only get a new folder which is empty.

    You can not run 2 copies of mp at the same time, but you can backup the following directories (copy or rename them):
    C:\ProgramFiles\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal and TvServer and
    C:\ProgramData\Team mediaPortal\MediaPortal and TvServer

    You might have a risc in destroying your TvDazabase, so pleas backup that one.

    4.5 is really old. I'm not sure 4.5.5 even is a version that actually existed. You should be able to install .NET Framework 4.8.0 on Windows 7 SP1

    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

I couldn't connect to the new TV Server from my old single-seat installation running 32-bit until I changed all MP-related firewall rules on the new machine to Private. Before I did...

    100% my bad - as expected :) So, I had disabled the Windows Update service. Not a wise move, until MP all installed and working nicely. The reason it failed is because DotNetFrameworkChecker.cs looks in Registry HKLM SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\NET Framework Setup\\NDP for v4/v4.0 AND v3.5. W10 has V4.0 but not 3.5. MP installer...
