Unhandled Exception when installing MP (1 Viewer)

[bdemetriou]

Hi,

I'm trying to install MediaPortal 1.5 Final on my Windows server but am geeting and Unhandled Exception. I have had MediaPortal running fine on this machine before> I tried uninstalling an older version and then installing 1.5 from scratch but now I'm stuck. See error below:

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

Were you able to get this issue resolved?

I get the exact same thing when I attempted to upgrade from 1.4.0 to 1.6.0...

And now I get the same thing from the 1.4.0 installer... I'm stuck!

No I couldn't resolve it. Ended up doing a full re-install of windows. Annoying but I tried everything else.

Bad news for me.... Not really an option I can consider since my Server is also a Domain Controller, Web Server and more...

Had I known I would have so much troubles, I would have invested in a VM server instead

At least I still have a plan B left... Using ArgusTV instead of MP TV-Service... Thankfully it should in theory integrate seamlessly since I'm using Argus on the clients!
