MP2 - V2.4.1 MP2-V2.4.1 Installation crashes (1 Viewer)

[EnricoH]

Thanks ge2301,

I followed all suggestions you made.
But I had no success.

So I tried to doublecheck and started to install MediaPortal on my Windows11 sandbox as a "user" without membership of Admin Group.
It worked.

So I have to do more investigation why it fails on my "real" Windows 10 image.
That will take some time.
So please close this issue.

Thanks a lot.

@Brownard
could you merge MP2.4.1 release into the new installer branch and provide a setup here?
Would be interesting to see, how the new installer behaves or if we see the same issue.

Done, it's based on latest 2.4.1, I've also implemented TvMosaic plugin selection and added .net 4.8 as a prerequisite so it should prompt to install it if it's not currently installed (though I haven't actually tested that ), installer is here - https://ci.appveyor.com/api/buildjo....2b0db74c119c17b656216bb39968f56820dcbdfe.zip

@EnricoH you can give the above installer a try, though the underlying installation process is very similar so you may run into the same issue.

@Brownard I think .NET4.8 is an update for .NET4.7.1, so I could also update it in our Wiki?
In other words: If people have .NET4.8 installed and have older version of MP2, it would still work, right?

 

[Brownard]

Yes it's fully backwards compatible (all .net frameworks are). It's also been included in Windows Update for a couple of years so it should only be missing for people that haven't kept their machine up to date, which is probably relatively few.

@ge2301 I'll do my very best. ;-)

 

[EnricoH]

No comment.
Did not see the download link.

 

[EnricoH]

Sorry guys,

same error :-(

See logs attached.

@EnricoH can you check in the MP2 Server log directory (C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MP2-Server\Log) to see if it generated a server.log file and post it here if so? I want to see if there's a fundamental permissions issue that isn't allowing the installer to start the service at all, in which case there won't be a server log file, or whether the server is being started but fails due to some other error, which should generate a server log.

 

[EnricoH]

Yes, there are log dataset.
But last access was on August, 04. My last attempt to install MediaPortal.
Anyway, I copy both Server.log and ServerError.log
