It could be anything. Run it manually and post the output. It should give me a better idea as to the problem. I'm near to posting an update so if it's an issue with the app, I can add the patch to the update.

Here's what I was able to produce:

The error goes away when I uncheck 'Fresh EPG Download.

There is also nothing in the Output directory. Should there be?

The reason it goes away is because unchecking that means that the downloader doesn't get run.

Open a command prompt and run the following commands.

> cd c:\epg
> MceEpgDownloader.exe PA37873-

If it still crashes, try re-running the MCE Guide Setup then run the above commands again.

At the office at the moment. Will try as soon as I return home this evening. Thanks for the quick response.

Hi Whurlston,

I have the same problem as Pointlisse. I re-ran the MCE guide setup and still the same thing...see attached picture.

Different problem. Either you are running MCE 2002 or you don't have all the updates. See post 384 for a special version of the downloader: http://forums.gbpvr.com/showpost.php?p=2...tcount=384

Hi Whurlston,

Thanks for the quick reply.
The other downloader doesn't show any errors but the epg download only took 1 second...

How do I check if the download is complete?

thanks,

[whurlston]

It should not have taken only one second. You may have to run through the MCE Guide Setup again before using the utility.

I ran the command as indicated and it crashed again

At the crash message, I pressed the debug button and it displayed this:

Code:

I'll rerun setup and see what happens.
