[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 966454, member: 18896"] (reduced from IRC chat on this issue): The current MPEI is simply a wrapper for the EXE installer. The problem is that ACL kicks in when the installer wants to place a file inside "Program Files" folder. This only works when elevated admin permission is enabled, and that is where the problem lies. The MediaPortal Extension Installer runs with elevated permissions, but does not launch the wrapped EXE with the same rights. Thus causing the EXE installer to fail when trying to write files to the "Program Files" folder. The normal cause for this error to appear is when MediaPortal is running, hence the error. If you launch the MPE1 file by itself with elevated permissions, then it will work. And the issue is known with developers and a 'true' MPEI version will be released next that no longer wraps the EXE installer, so everything will work as expected inside MPEI and via Extension plugin. At least if you install the MPE1 manually this time, you will be alerted via MPEI/Extensions when this new version is released automatic, so there is still a benefit over using the EXE installer.
