GBPVR tries to reinstall itself when entering config

[drox]

Well kind of a strange problem. Yesterday I was working on installing some new plug-ins. I installed Comskip, comclean, and EWA. They all went off with out a hitch as far as I was aware. I follow the instructions on the wiki for EWA and deleted what was suggested in the web folder and replaced it with what I downloaded. Forwarded that port on my router to my PVR computer, everything worked perfectly from inside and outside my network.

Then a strange thing happened... I went to check all of my settings in the config, so I closed down PVRX2 and right clicked on the icon and went to start config. When I did this, the screen shot I attached popped up. It asked for the .MSI file to install but I did not have it downloaded so I clicked cancel, popped up an additional 2 times after. Config opens just fine after. Well it kept asking for the .MSI file every time I went into config, so I downloaded it and let it do what it was trying to do. Now what it does is runs through the install and the reverses itself, and it does this 3 times in a row. It also does this when trying to watch Live TV as well now. And since this happened, the EWA no longer works. Any ideas what it is trying to do and why?

I go this too after deleting some chanel logo gif images. Sub confirmed that things included in the MSI installer should not be uninstalled, or this happens.
The only solution for me was to reinstall GBPVR from scratch! (Having backed up my config and DB files)

Check your event viewer. In my case I installed an mdapifilter that deleted the .txt file in the plugins directory. This triggered the reinstall every time. I found out that gbpvr was missing this file by checking the event viewer, put it back and the reinstall wasn't triggered anymore.

Thanks for the tip JePe. I ended up reinstalled EWA but changed the folder names in Plugins to what they were originally and it works normally now. Man this community is great!
