Guess people would like to say: "Don't fix, unless it is broke" :(
>- Does Slimserver show as an installed application in the >'Add/Remove Programs' option in the Control Panel when you think >you've uninstalled it. Yes, I did un-install using the CP, and the SlimServer did not appear in the list after un-install. >- What is left in C:\Program Files\Slimdevices (or is this >Slimserver). Only the manual changes I had added; PlayLists and the WeatherTime plugin. ------------- Anyway, I tried to install 6.5.1 on another computer (still running Win2003) where no SlimServer has ever been installed before. Just before installing I copied my playlists to "C:\Program Files\SlimServer\server\Playlists" and also the only plugin I use; "C:\Program Files\SlimServer\server\Plugins\WeatherTime". To my surprise I got the very same behaviour, i.e. that the SlimServer refused to start. I then went back to the original computer, convinced that it had something to do with 6.5.1. (and for the sake of discussion, I assume that 6.5.1 can be installed on it's own, e.g. that it doesn't need 6.5.0?). I then did remove 'everything' including; * Uninstall from CP * Removing C:\Program Files\SlimServer and everything in it. * No adding of Playlist or plugins * No adding of previous preferences In short, a virgin install (if something like that ever exists) THEN, I tried to install 6.5.0 and this time it worked! I have no explanation why the 6.5.1 upgrade went wrong, nor do I understand why it worked this time. The only difference would be that I removed the C:\Program Files\SlimServer directory and everything with it. Am now runnning 6.5.0 and will wait some time before trying another version... -- arcticblue ------------------------------------------------------------------------ arcticblue's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7711 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27976 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
