The announcement page doesn't seem to mention MySQL as being a pre-requisite, so I assume the installer should install it if necessary, but I don't see it listed at all and then when I get to the Test Connection stage, it fails (which is hardly surprising if MySQL isn't installed).
I don't see any sign of MySQL in services.msc or under installed programs, so it doesn't appear to be already installed.
I was trying to do an upgrade install from 1.6 (not sure if Pre or Final). Not sure if the logs will show much as the installer log probably got overwritten when I tried reinstalling, so I added the Oldlogs to the attached zip.
I also get errors "Error opening file for writing" when running the installer again after the first time. I have to delete the files in e:\temp\Main\MediaPortal Installation to fix this but now it won't even let me access this folder "access is denied".
I'm running as Admin with UAC disabled and I set Users to Full Access the first time I get the error on installing to see if that would help. There's something strange though, as if I go into Advanced Security Settings for e:\temp it shows two Users(X4\Users) with one set to Full Control and the other set to Read&Execute. I can delete the first one but when I try and change the other one to Full Control, it just creates an extra entry again and I'm sure there shouldn't be two conflicting entries.
I think the easiest thing to do is just change the settings to point temp to another location like E:\temp2 as something's obviously messed up.[DOUBLEPOST=1392742350][/DOUBLEPOST]OK, changed the temp folder and reinstalled but still no mention of MySQL in the installer and still had the same problem at the "Test Database Connection" screen.
