Just reinstalled XP, and trying to install Mediaportal 0.2.0.0.
It checks for .NET 2.0 and can't fint it(cause i have installed manually - lazy me).
Then it refers me to download from Microsoft homepage.
I click Yes to redirected, but end up at a dead page.....
First
http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/downloads/updates/default.aspx
then 5 sec. later
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/netframework/aa731542.aspx

The redirecting from mediaportal worked when i reinstalled yesterday, but not today.......

I know i can bypass it by installing manually, but still thinks it should gets fixed.

regards
Morten

Well if you are getting to the Microsoft site and thats redirecting you, its nothing to do with Mediaportal. Its a Microsoft website problem

Yes and no.
Yes- Microsoft must have changed the url for .NET 2.0.

No, its still a mediaportal issue, because it checks if .NET 2.0 is installed or not, if not, then Mediaportal prompts you, to download it from Microsoft's site

If you press yes to install .NET 2.0, it downloads and installs .NET 2.0 silent on your machine and continues installation.

But now it just ends up on a microsoft pags - saying that the url is wrong.

Can anyone confirm this - or is it just me?

Worked fine for me when I tested it.
