Installed 1.0 RC1 refresh complete package (including all prerequisites listed) with SQL Express 2005 DB2. Rebooted3. Ran TVServer config (couldn't find a new MP config)4. Rebooted5. Installed TVServer SVN from 25 April (including recommended uninstall)6. Ran TVServer config.7. Installed MP SVN from 25 April (including recommended backup)8. Attempted to run MP config.Even starting the new MP test tool causes an (apparently uncaught) exception.Logfiles and screenshots are attached.P.S.It turns out that Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.dll was also missing from the new installation.  Only Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3DX.dll had been installed.  After providing a copy of Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.dll, I am now missing "Bass.Net".  What's going on here?  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite4" alt=":mad:" title="Mad    :mad:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":mad:" /> Most comments are very positive about the new installation routine, but I don't recall ever having had so much difficulty with an MP installation. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite5" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":confused:" />P.P.S.Now I have truly landed in DLL hell!  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite4" alt=":mad:" title="Mad    :mad:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":mad:" />   I have two versions of Bass.Net.DLL from previous installations of MP: 2.3.0.9 and 2.3.1.2.  If I copy 2.3.1.2 into the MP installation directory, the error message complains about not finding 2.3.0.9.  If I copy 2.3.0.9 into the MP installation directory (BTW, I used the default, which is different from what it used to be for MP 0.2.3.0) the resulting error message complains that MP config doesn't find 2.3.1.2.  Catch-22!What can I do now?  Go back to a pre-MP system image and do a virgin installation of 1.0 RC1?P.P.P.S.Well, I was able to restore order without having to restore an earlier system image (although I may do that later anyway as a "cleanup" measure).  I deinstalled all MP components and then reinstalled according to the above sequence with one major exception:I didn't let the SVN installation perform an uninstall first.Why is this the default, if the result doesn't work?</blockquote>
