Media Portal client install program is crashing - same issue 1.5 and 1.6 (1 Viewer)

[David Beaney]

I have been running media portal - server plus 3 clients for about a month now.

However when I tried to reinstall mediaportal as a fresh install, the install programme crashes with the following error message at the point where media portal and the tv plug in have installed and after the LAV filters have been obtained from the media portal site. I have tried to install without the LAV filters but get an essentially identical issue.

My assumption is that a windows Update has done something that is preventing the mediaportal install programme from running to completion.

The systems that I am having problems with are both windows 7 64 bit with the latest windows updates and running microsoft security essentials. One has 4 gig or ram; the other 8 gig,

Media portal server is running happily on another of my windows 7 PC's and the client is running happily on my windows 8 pc.

Thanks for any assistance

David

Error message at the instal stage

---------------------------
MediaPortal Deploy Tool -- Error
---------------------------
Failed to install application [LAV Filters]
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

Then when I try and run the media portal config I get the following message

[Window Title]
MediaPortal Configuration

[Main Instruction]
MediaPortal Configuration has stopped working

[Content]
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.

[Close program]

And when I try and run media portal in debug mode I get the following error details

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.
