client/nextpvr.exe startup error

[martint123]

I've not used it for a bit, but just trying it again.
As soon as I start it up directly from the program files directory it throws a .NET framework error box.
Running on the server machine. I can' think of anything I've made a mess of recently .....

Have you confirmed that none of the prerelease environment variables are set?

thanks Martin, None that I know of I always used to set them in a startup bat file rather than in the environment

Running on the server machine. I can' think of anything I've made a mess of recently .....

Do you get a c:\users\public\NPVR-data\logs\npvr.log?

[martint123]

Do you get a c:\users\public\NPVR-data\logs\npvr.log?

There is one created (and 3 historical ones) ut they are all zero length.

It basically looks like it can't find your skin files.

If NextPVR v5 is installed in "C:\Program Files\NPVR", do you have "C:\Program Files\NPVR\data\skin\Default" directory?

[martint123]

I suspect it is something I have done. No sign of the NPVR\data directory never mind the skin one.
I bet I have a mix up with release versions. I will get rid of everything I can find and do a reinstall of the v5 public beta.
My apologies for creating unnecessary work for you.

look forward to your peace and quiet trip ....

It's no hassle. Try again, and if you can't get it going, let us know and I'll help you track down the cause.

[martint123]

Deleted all the old stuff completely, starting from scratch.
Installed, setup and viewing with no problems at all.
Looks like I may have dumped a load of stuff from your zip file to the root of c:\program files :eek:

sorry again, but nice and simple for a full reinstall. (although left DVB-S for later)
