[QUOTE="Ragman, post: 594659, member: 53002"] I ran into the exact same problem when installing yesterday. One possible explanation for my problem might be that I have previously had MP installed in Program Files (x86) but I uninstalled it and reinstalled in the regular Program Files instead (reason: to make it work with my backed up setting file for my iMON remote which expected MP to be in the regular Program Files). Maybe MP doesn't completely remove everything from the registry when uninstalling? Either that or the installer for MP-TV Series finds something else that it thinks is strange. Would it be a good idea to prompt the user for installation directory if it doesn't find one? In my case there was no MP dir under Program Files (x86) so the MP-TV Series installer had to create it for itself and install files there, I would like this case to be checked. My solution was to copy the installed files to the correct place manually. Pseudo code example: installDir = getMediaPortalDirectory(); if( !directoryExists( installDir ) ) installDir = promptUserForInstallDir(); installMPTVSeries( installDir ); String handling is of course bonkers in the above example but its just a pseudo code example so treat accordingly :) [/QUOTE]
