MediaPortal Version: v 1.1.2
Windows Version: Vista 6.0

When I try to install Media Portal, I immediately get a message that says "Sorry, your OS is currently not supported by MediaPortal. Is this wrong ?

    Hi there

    Build 6000 doesn't seem to be a release version of Vista. You'll need a legitimate copy of a release version of Vista. For example, Vista Business, Home Basic, Ultimate etc.

    Are you running a beta of vista? It seems like it must be something like that. You should update to windows 7 if you have to reinstall anyway.

    Sorry for not putting all this in the first post. I'm new at this. So, here is the info I think you want and what I can get right now.
    The Window vista version is: Windows Vista Home Premium, Version 6.0 (build 6000) copyright 2006. It came installed with the Gateway computer when I bought it.

    MediaPortal Version: 1.1.2
    MediaPortal Skin: None yet
    Windows Version: 6.0 (build 6000)
    CPU Type: AMD Athlon 64 x2
    HDD: Western Digital WD50 (500GB))
    Memory: 2GB
    Motherboard: Elite Group MCP 61PM-AM (socket AM2)
    Video Card: 256 MB GeForce 8500 GT (ASUStek Computer Inc.)
    Video Card Driver: NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT
    Sound Card: Generic Motherboard
    Sound Card AC3:
    Sound Card Driver: Generic by Microsoft

    Also, it looks like the hardware is 64 bit architecture and the Vista may be 32 bit. So I assume to use the 32 bit version of MP.
    Thanks.

    Afik build 6000 is rtm, well 6000.xxxxx actually, but sp1 changes it to 6001.xxxxx. I think you should install all updates from windows update site and then follow our installation guide in wiki. Check pre-req especially.

    AW: Vista 6.0 (build 6000) not supported

    Hello,

    I'll bump this thread because my question is related to this one and I haven't found some kind of cure searching through the forums. Or maybe I just didn't find that one thread that answers my question.

    MP Version: 1.2.0 Beta
    OS: Vista Business x86 SP1


    It tells me that my OS isn't supported (6.0.6001.65536 it reports on the message box). Yes, I've turned off UAC (albeit with Windows 7 it worked with UAC on), installed all updates that were available as of today.
    And yes, it's a "real" and legit Vista.

    Where's the problem? I get "Sorry, your OS is currently not supported by MediaPortal".

    You need Vista SP2, as clearly stated by our installation requirement page -->here<-- (supported OS tab). You can download SP2 from -->here<--.

    AW: Vista 6.0 (build 6000) not supported

    Oh that's right, should have read the bold text ;)
    Unfortunately, that's a little problematic, because I actually switched back to Vista SP1 from XP and 7, just because the memory consumption under 7 is higher than Vista SP2 (on my PC at least).
    Under 7/Vista SP2, 800 MB are at least in RAM, and I need as much free as possible (1 GB here). Under Vista SP1, it's just 500 MB.
    Switching to XP is not great because I need scalable icons (amongst other things like HW-rendering).

    Sure it is not helping, but may I ask, why exactly MP requires SP2 of Vista? Are there some breaking things that exist in XP, Vista SP2 and 7, but not in Vista SP1? Just asking :)

    But thanks for your help! :D

    Greetings,
    chris

    Hi again Chris

    That is certainly a fair question - unfortunately I can't give you a good answer. I can say that we encourage people to keep their machines up-to-date with the latest service packs and fixes, and that policy *may* be the reason why Vista SP2 is required. In the long run it would be better if you could get more RAM...
