[QUOTE="Smirnuff, post: 19558, member: 10545"] Fortunately one of the benefits brought about by the .NET framework is that it supports side by side installations, MP continues this support by allowing you to have as many varied copies of MP on a single machine as that machine's hard drive will allow so for those that are interested in helping out further with testing but are also concerned with breaking a working install... Open Windows Explorer and navigate to your Program Files folder and simply copy the existing MP folder then apply whichever CVS build you wish to work with over the copy, that way you can do as much damage as you like in the 30 minutes and not have have to worry that you're going to have to get MP up and running again, full of channels and guide information in the 10 minutes you have left before your partner's favorite soap starts; which could potentially lead to reduced nookie for the rest of the week. Its best to do the copying while MP isn't running, some files may be locked exclusively so the copy would fail. [/QUOTE]
