.net unhandled exception

[pBS]

same here on xp, looks like a dir isn't being created, starts skipping just after NRECORD.EXE INSTALL line, where Output Folder: is blank...
most everything after that skips extraction..
i notice the .reg file also only has vista style docs dir.."DataDirectory"="C:\\Users\\Public\\NPVR"
which obviously won't work on xp...
i think some of the subdirs aren't getting created...only subdir in NPVR is 'other'...seems like after that, all fails copying..

There seems to be a problem doing a reinstall without an uninstall which I avoided by typing before running NPVRSetup

NRecord UNINSTALL

well i just created "c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\NPVR" dir and it installed successfully after that...files copied, and app started...
oh, i also edited the registry entry to be correct for xp users..'DataDirectory' = c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\NPVR instead of what's in the included .reg file
i already had a 'documents' dir in 'all users', but it may need to be created also for some people..

is there a client mode?! and i don't see any config options... ahh,mouse rt-click for config..

still hoping there's some sort of client mode...i know recordings are nice from library now, but livetv...

There is no client/server in NPVR. Configuring is done by right-clicking in the app window and selecting from the popup menue.

On Windows Server 2003, I was seeing the same problem as being reported with XP--install skipping many files, .NET error on startup, etc. Strangely, when I went to look in the C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\ directory with a Windows Explorer window, no Documents folder shows up. (And I do have it set to show hidden and system files, so ALL files should be showing up.) However, when I create a new folder and try to rename it to Documents, I get an error saying that folder already exists. If I open a command prompt window and go to the same C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\ directory, I do indeed see a Documents folder! Very strange--and I'm guessing somehow related to what is confusing the installer.

No, not yet, but I do intend to add it soon. Where it ends up in the priority list will depend on the feedback from users.

It's your "Shared Documents" folder. Put the NPVR folder in there.

sub - I thought you were going to set the installer to use C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\NPVR for XP.
