Problems Installing 1.0.1 on Vista system (1 Viewer)

[Rick19861911]

Hello agian, has anyone had problems installing MP 1.0.1 on a Vista system? I tried the update function and it stopped when downloading the directx august 2008 file. I then did a complete uninstall and tried both the automatic and manual download methods with no success. I got an error message saying that this is not a win32 program. Is MP 1.0.1 even compatible with Vista, or am I doing something wrong??



edited: Sorry to have posted this. I did some searching and it looks like MP 1.0.1 is not compatible with my version of windows. My bad.

Where you found out that your version of Vista is not compatible with 1.0.1 ?

I found it in the documentation. It says it's good for vista service pack 1 only I believe.

edited: Wow, I just did a re-check and I am actually running vista service pack 1 on my server. Darn multiple computers are getting me confused here! Anyway, I am not sure I feel up to playing with this right at the moment. I ended up doing another fresh install and now I am having problems getting my program guide data from schedules direct. This is a great program when it works, I just wish it would work more often.

Ok, didn't check the SP level. I still don't take into acocunt that there are still users that prefer NOT to install latest SP on their machine
