.net unhandled exception

[soccerdad]

Well in All Users I don't have a Documents folder....

I haven't tried in anger yet on a real PC, but a quick test in a VM is showing lots of files being skipped during the install (if you look at the more details option). I then see the same exceptions as above. The vcredist is also leaving a bunch of files at the root of c: - is that to be expected?

(I'll add that I didn't expect the app to run in the VM due to not having dx9, but I was just wanting to look at the installed files, etc).

In both two computers there is no "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\NPVR\Logs" directory.

If you're on Vista or Win7, the logs directory is c:\users\public\npvr\log

It's sometimes called All Users.WINDOWS, but try searching your local harddisks for "NPVR.log".

no love, "NPVR.log" is not on my computer. I think something was wrong with the install. It only took a couple of seconds to complete. I tried the install twice.

When I uninstall I get a "error data directory" message from the uninstall program.

The same test with a Windows 7 VM has succeeded. The app installed and the main window is up and running. So it's looking like an issue with the installer on XP?

Yes, sounding like that might be the case.

On reinstall as I finish, I read the install logs and it looks like it skips tons of files and ini's

No log file for also.
