.NET Framework exception - NativeUtilities

[B. C.]

I've installed the latest .NET framework and the latest GB-PVR, but when I try to run it, I get an unhandled exception from Microsoft .NET Framework.

The interesting thing is if I go back and install one of the older versions from a couple of months back, things work fine. The dump from the exception is below. I would really appreciate any pointers as I really like the program and would like to be able to use the latest version.

Thanks!

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just in time (JIT) debugging, the config file for this
application or machine (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

Try a forum search for nativeutilities, several of these have popped up in the last week or so.

Thanks - I had checked around on those, but those seem to be related to doing things with webamin. I hit this immediately when I try to bring up the config screen or gb-pvr itself.

Sounds like you need to upgrade Windows Media Player.

Sounds like you need to upgrade Windows Media Player.

I think I'm already at the latest, but I'll double-check when I get home. Out of curiosity, how does the error relate to the WMP version?

Thanks

Upgrading WMP to v9 fixed things. Thanks very much for the tip!
