Installing MC27
rganiard:
I'm still running MC26 and not having any trouble. I've upgraded quite a few times in the past without the hassles I encountered this time. Is it worth it to try again since I own MC27? I am NOT a computer hobbyist, but not a novice user either. I maybe use 10% of Media Center's functionality. I stream to a DAC and a high-end hi-fi rig, period. Audio only.
Is there an installation for Dummies checklist for this? I have roughly 2TB of wav and FLAC files.
Thx,
Rod

Yes.
Please provide details about what you do, what happens, what isn't working right.
Include version and OS.

I am trying - always - to install the most recent version of MC27 posted here on the board. I sometimes have to enter my registration or license number. I do receive replies that it was successful. I've used restorations for both MC26 and MC27.
I have Microsoft Office/Windows 365 and accept all updates.
I run the MC27 installer, click "allow modifications to my computer", and the installer begins, and then in a short time wants to copy all my files from my external E: drive to my resident C: drive which is immediately swamped.
In the past, I've run the installer and it's worked out without issues other than having to rename some files or re-tag some folders.
Do I need to back up my library using the instructions from the Library pages? Do I unload and later reload my music files?
I'd like and appreciate a Step 1, 2, 3 . . . outline/action plan that I can follow. I think many members would. The amount of information available here is overwhelming when one only uses it occasionally to upgrade. I'm only interested in high-resolution audio cataloging and playback.
Thank you.

MC doesn't copy files from one drive to another unless you tell it to. The "allow modifications" message is from Windows for security reasons.
Please provide details about what you're doing.

With MC26 closed after backing up my standard library file, I download and launch MC270066-x64. I click OK to "Allow MC27 to make changes." I get "Please wait while Install Wizard Copies and registers files." At the bottom of the window, it says, "Upgrading from previous version..."
After 5 or 6 minutes, "JRiver Media Center 27 - Install Wizard (Not Responding)" is the Window header. Now 30 minutes later, no change.
Am I missing steps? I've upgraded several times in the past.
