[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1283261, member: 141969"] In the six years that I have been using MP, I have not once uninstalled MP, so I have no experience of how uninstall works (or, indeed, whether it works :eek: ). However, the error text quote by [USER=68833]@ajs[/USER] suggests that the error is caused by trying to install MP whilst there is already a version of TV Server installed. When trying to uninstall, I would: [LIST] [*]Stop the TV Server service. [*]Run the uninstall procedure. [*]Reboot. [*]Manually delete the folders in "Program Files" and "ProgramData" that have "Team MediaPortal" in the name. [/LIST] Now, a further complicating factor is MP2, which uses the same TV Server code as MP1. Therefore, another possible cause of this error is trying to install MP1 whilst MP2 is installed. One might have expected that the MP2 developers would have tweaked the TV Server code so that it used different database names, or located the databases in a different folder, but if the developers did not do this, the MP2 version of TV Server will try to access exactly the same databases as the MP1 version of TV Server, which would (I think) give rise to the error message shown above if both TV servers are active. You can stop the TV Server service in "TV Server Config" or by using the Windows "Services" panel, but the service will start again the next time that you boot. The only definitive way to stop the service running is to uninstall it. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
