Question about Installer

[groover km]

I have been running 98.13b since release without any issues, but for some reason this morning when I went to open config.exe via the start menu shortcut it kicks off the 'windows is configuring gbpvr' reinstall routine (it was working fine prior to this morning...?). I even had to download the installer to the desktop again to get it to run, but once config opened, it still had all my previous settings (phew).

I remember having this before and doing something - which I can't recall - to fix it. Any ideas? I've checked the shortcut and it seems to be pointing to the correct location.

Also, a suggestion for the future - is there any chance that the installer could check to see if it's an upgrade and automatically export (and import?) existing recording info? I forget to do this EVERY. SINGLE. TIME....

Thanks.

DId it just do it once, or does it do it every time? If it just did it once, and didnt do any harm, then I'd just forget about. If it does it every time, then you can look in the Windows Event Viewer to see why its running, then takes steps to resolve it.

It already exports the list of ready recordings with every EPG update, so as a fallback position the user should always have this available as a last resort.

I changed the shortcut to point to the config.exe (even though it was already) and it's fine again now - weird; must be some sort of mystical XP ju-ju...

I didn't release that about the EPG update; thanks for the pointer.
