Tried all kinds of things...i.e. install the web server software by itself, tried run as administrator.

Where is the app installed to?

Where is the web server software installed to?

just tried the uploaded installer on my windows xp vm and worked, so:

do either of these directories exist?

"C:\Users\Public\NPVR"
"C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\NPVR"

the web server should be installed to
%PROGRAMFILES%\UltiDev\Web Server

which then needs one of these files
%PROGRAMFILES%\UltiDev\Web Server\UWS.RegApp.exe
%PROGRAMFILES(x86)%\UltiDev\Web Server\UWS.RegApp.exe

the install directory for the web console is
%PROGRAM FILES%\Reven\NextPVR Web Console

ive only tried the installer on english versions of windows, all installed on the default "C drive".

When the install fails it does run a backout so some stuff may get uninstalled.....below is what is left.

My users directory is on "d:\public\users\npvr\"
My data is on "d:\documents and settings\all users\application data" ( no npvr found there)

Web server appears to be there "c:\program files\utilidev\web server"

uws.regapp.exe is in that directory

There is no "c:\program files\reven\"

yeah thats why its currently only looking in

C drive

theres no registry key for npvr install path and the installer cant load the nshared dll to get this info. so I just look for the 2 common places.

once the installer fails, it will roll back and uninstall %programfiles%\reven , but ultidev wont be uninstalled.

if i sent u some code, could u quickly test it for me?

There are reg keys for both the InstallDirectory and ProgramDirectory Perhaps you are forgetting the Wow6432Node

perhaps i was just lazy and assumed there wasnt, err my mind was a bit distracted when i posted that. its not actually the npvr dir im after, its the user data directory.

trying to test a console app now to spit out this info, just need a windows xp box to test against... hopefully i have a xp vm laying around somewhere....

reven · 2012-12-03, 01:07 AM

can you try this attached console app and post the output. i dont have a windows xp machine laying around at work.

sure.... I pm'd you my ftp server info with your credentials

cheers, just try that attached zip file, it hopefully displays the correct path on the first or second line.

i dont have any machines, vm or real with a data directory on a different drive to test this against. the only reason it needs this dir is to set permissions so the "NETWORK SERVICE" can access that directory (the user the application pool runs under).
