I'm trying to install MediaPortal and am getting the following error message when trying to start the installer:
The error message occurs whether I use the MediaPortal 1.3.0 or 1.4.0 installer. But I have Windows 8 which has NET 4.0 built-in.
.....
Edit: it seems I still have to install NET 3.5 anyway even with Windows 8. After NET 3.5 is installed the MediaPortal installer will run.
MediaPortal Unpacker Setup
Some components are missing on your system to install MediaPortal. Please install the following components:
