A heads up on a crashing GBPVR service

[Basher52]

I reinstalled Medal Of Honor on last Sunday and that seemed to have FORCED an install of an older version of VC++ 2005 thus making the GBPVR service to crash on start up.
Since I've been very busy at work and even work all evening at home after work too, I haven't been able to check the recordings that I used to watch so it wasn't until today that I saw this problem.
After trying some things I just reinstalled the http://www.gbpvr.com/vcredist_x86.zip and during that install I saw that it said it was removing older version of it and after this, the GBPVR Service run smooth as a baby's butt again
So this may happen on anything you install...

I wonder why an older version got installed in the first place? It shouldn't be doing that now should it :p


I say this, just to let you know in case someone get's something like this...
just try to reinstall the http://www.gbpvr.com/vcredist_x86.zip and it may work


PS Thanks for the best PVR out there

Many poorly written programs do stuff like that. I've seen crappy software install stuff like ancient versions of the Java JRE, Adobe Reader, etc. without asking first. Apparently the programmers never thought about the fact that later versions of the "helper" apps they were using might be released in the future.
