occasionally, gbpvr needs re-installing

[starbuck]

This has happened to me several times now. the prog has been running fine. Then I shut down my pc. when I switch it back on, windows starts and it starts the gbpvr installer.

any ideas?

Yes...but I think just after gonig to latest version, and only after 1st restart. Like some completing setup step. I had problems the one time I stopped it.

If you're deleting extra files that came with the original install (like the default channel logos or the netradio stations), then the stupid installer will come up in order to replace those files. It's XP's way of protecting itself from users deleting critical files, I guess. So it's best not to delete any of the files that came with the original installation.

This seems to be a fault of XP, not gbpvr. The shortcuts get messed up, and when the Recording Service starts, it starts an install. Just cancel the install.
I have also had this happen when going into config, and end up making manual shortcuts.
It could be something in the way the installer checks for modified files. If it thinks something has changed, and needs repairing, the install starts up.
I'm sure Sub has more to say on this, as I remember him mentioning something about the installer he's using.
