1.3.11 .Net framework installation utility encountered a problem

[firehorse]

Hi,

I was running 1.3.7 successfully except for occasional recordings that wouldn't stop so I upgraded to 1.3.11

I upgraded 1.3.11 over 1.3.7. It seemed ok except I got some 0 byte recordings so I rebooted the computer BUT now my recording status shows 8 tuners rather than the 2 (Nova TD stick) I have.

I uninstalled and reinstalled 1.3.11 but now it won't install because it comes up with ".Net framework installation utility encountered a problem" at the very end.

I've downloaded the 2005 C++ libraries from the 1.3.7 survival and reinstalled them.

I've reinstalled .net 2.0 SP1

But I still get the error ".Net framework installation utility encountered a problem" at the very end.

Any ideas of what I should do next?

Thanks
Alan

Hi,

Desperate to get it working I tried 1.3.7 and 1.2.9 and they have both come up with the same error ... so I now suspect it is something to do with Windows.

Windows XP, SP3

I've tried reinstalling .net framework 2, but it still comes up with the same error.

somewhere out there is a dotnet uninstaller that can clean it up,dotnetfx_cleanup_tool.zip
it allows you to remove dotnet versions so you can do aa complete reinstall..
i forget where to get it tho..

also might try installing .net 3 or 3.5 as i believe they will replace most of and hopefully fix .net problems..

You probably have to run "Map digital channels to EPG channels" again, and rescan the channels.

It can be a real mess. As noted above, you pretty much have to uninstall everything, including all versions of .NET and start over. Use the "DOT .NET Framework Cleanup Tool". Then be sure to reinstall .NET again before you install GB-PVR. With a little luck, it should work.

I found this page http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2...06671.aspx Removed framework and reinstalled, ran a verifier for .net 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 2.0sp1, 2.0sp2. All eventually passed, but gbpvr still wouldn't install!

Will have a go at uninstalling .net and reinstalling again.
