Can't start GBPVR - .net error

[mrming]

Hi all,

I've been using GBPVR for two years and recently the machine I've been running it on has died. I've started with a fresh install of Windows 2000 on another machine, but can't get GBPVR to work.

I've installed the .net framework version 2.0 and version 2.8 of the MDAC components. Unfortunately whenever I do anything in GBPVR (e.g. launch the Config app) I get a .net exception. The full error message is below but basically it's:

"The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)."

Has anyone got any ideas how to fix this? I want my PVR back!

Things I've tried so far:

Removing and reinstalling the .net framework
Removing and reinstalling the MDAC components
Removing and reinstalling GBPVR

None of this has worked... :confused:

Code:

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

You need to install DirectX 9.0 - phew!

[steves]

I'm struggling with the same thing!!!

Tried installing DirectX 9. No help.

Installed MDAC 2.8
.Net 2.0
DirectX9
Win 2000 SP4

Still the same error over and over again,.....

HEEEEELLLLLLLPPPPPP!!!!!

Maybe you need a newer version of mediaplayer. That advice I've seen alot in problems with win2000.

[steves]

Thanks! That solved it.

Another one for the FAQ me thinks....

Min requirements for a Windows 2000 install:

1) Win 2K
2) Service Packs (recommend 4)
3) Microsoft Installer 3.0 (required for .Net)
4) .Net 2.0
5) MDAC 2.6 (or greater)
6) DirectX 9 (or greater)
7) Windows Media Player (9 is latest for Win2K)
8) GBPVR

Mmmmm a tad more than mentioned on the system requirements page ;-)
