[QUOTE="HTPCSourcer, post: 415804, member: 74879"] First I would invite you to post the install logs. It is difficult to run a diagnosis when you have no information at all.:) Hhm, I would strongly recommend to use the standard paths in a first attempt as the directory structure is pretty complex. This would also exclude any problem arising from this side. Once you have a running installation, reinstalling according to your preferences is a wash. There have been quite a number of SQL installation errors reported recently for 1.01. Search the forum to learn more. I see two quick possibilities: you could manually download SQL Express 2005 and install it independently of MP, then rerun the installer. Or you could use the other server option "MySQL" instead of the Microsoft SQL Express. I had chosen option one for me. SQL Server is a Client/Server oriented database, which is used to store important MP information such as TV program info, stations and various other elements. It is vital for MP to function. Everybody in this forum is trying to help and uses his free time to do so. Answers may occasionally come late. Nevertheless the software is worth spending some time. I am sure that you will appreciate the results, once it is running. Answers usually come very fast if you provide information about the system and the issue by posting logs, which MP continually creates. Regards, HTPC_Sourcer [/QUOTE]
