I got the spurious files saved in the root of the install directory (E:\) in my case. The updated installer worked fine though (too late to test fully)

I had to manually edit the datadir entry in the registry to make it install without skipping.
Could it be an XP thing with 'documents' being the same directory name as 'shared documents' as I tried to create documents but it said it already existed (but didn't!!). anyway onward and upward. Oh yes, thanks to Martin for the nrecord uninstall tip.

The problem is if you have already tried to install a previous version as the installer will simply look at the registry DataDirectory value and use that again. To anyone who wants to get the default install (as detailed above) simply delete the HKLM\SOFTWARE\NPVR registry key completely and the installer will think it's a fresh install. For those who want to clean up a previous failed install on XP, some files (as mentioned) will have been copied to C:\ (or the root of whatever drive was chosen to install the program). The files are as follows... AnalogDevices.xml config.xml Config-master-dont-edit.xml DeviceRules.xml DigitalDevices.xml empty.db3 KeyMappings.xml npvr.db3

It was still failing for me even when I deleted the whole \NPVR registry entry and its entries. When teh install failed, the datadir entry was re-created but was still pointing to nothing. Manually creating it, let me proceed. And, yes, I had re-downloaded the install file.

Before I posted my message (above) however, I uninstalled what I had in place and deleted everything the installer didn't remove (including the reg key) then downloaded the installer from fresh and it worked fine for me pointing the user stuff at Application Data. Weird.

I'm going to go back to an image from last week and start afresh. Something I have done in the last couple of days has stopped my dvb-s tuners from working in gbpvr and dvbviewer. I went back a month and they worked, so I'll try a Sunday restore. I guess something installed in the last few days has upset it. A driver reinstall didn't fix it. so npvr, wintv7 or microsoft are my suspects

After a fresh start on Saturdays image, it failed again, but now I think it was a firefox/cache problem and not really getting the updated installer.
Re downloaded with IE and re-imaged again and it installed fine - so sorry for false alarms. |
