    Its telling you that (for some reason) it was unable to download one of the files it needs to install. If this error repeats itself you can download the file itself, then do a search on your system drive for a temp folder called 'deploy'. Place the file in the 'Mediaportal Installation\deploy' folder and mediaportal will skip trying to download it and install it.

    In XP the path is \Documents and Settings\[username]\Local Settings\Temp\MediaPortal Installation\Deploy

    this will differ in Vista and W7 but you get the idea

    It turned out to be a DNS problem affecting download.microsoft.com in general. I did more or less exactly what you said except I downloaded and installed the prerequisites manually.

    I think the setup should fail more gracefully in this situation and a "Retry" option would be aces.

    Cheers

    Actually, you just reminded me of how I have handled this in the past: I merged the contents of an old export.xml with a new one to make a complete file containing the old values I needed and the new values I didn't want to change. Why should it matter if the export file is missing some values? I would expect the import process to...
