[QUOTE="hanoota, post: 625139, member: 52069"] Hey i already mentioned it briefly in [URL="https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/mediaportal-1-1-0-rc-3-4-519/installation-error-82942/"]this thread[/URL]. You are able to deactivate the [I]Windows Media Player 12[/I] in Windows 7. If you do that and try to install MediaPortal it's displaying: State:"Media Player 11 not installed" Action:"Download->Install" And of course you can not install WMP11 on Windows7 like MediaPortal recommends. [IMG]http://i48.tinypic.com/347afpk.jpg[/IMG] In my opinion it should detect if you are using Win7 and should display: State:"Media Player 12 deactivated" Action:"Reactivate" Or if it is too hard to implement to reactivate it with the installer, there should be at least a message to the user that he has to change the settings of WMP12 manually (Control Panel - Uninstall a program - Turn Windows features on or off - Expand Media Feature - Check Windows Media Player). After that Windows needs a reboot, so the installer must be started again... Here is a video to show you what the installer is showing if you try to install it with deactivated WMP12: [url]http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/8255/mpiwmp12deactivated.mp4[/url] I think it would be more userfriendly if you give the users a accurate state-message! Otherwise unexperienced users might be confused why they can't install the WMP11 on theirs Win7;) Thank you for the attention! [/QUOTE]
