Title: Dual Uninstall Entries
Post by: Kurt Young on December 14, 2002, 11:18:13 am

I apologize if this has been said before, but I just now noticed that I have two entries in the Add/Remove Programs control panel applet for MJ.  These correspond with two entries in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Currentversion\Uninstall

My instinct tells me just to delete the Media Jukebox 9.0 key and not worry about it, but I wanted to ask y'all what you think I should do; also wanted to find out if it's happening to other folks.  Lastly, I was wondering what your guess is on why Media Center 9.0 reports at being 781.00MB.

Running Windows XP SP1.

edit: I figured out what's up with the 700MB... there's a file called burntemp.raw in C:\Program Files\JRiver\Media Jukebox that is 740mb.  What is this file, is it safe to delete?  What made it get put there?  Can I relocate it to another drive or path?

Whoops, sorry... webserver was offline for a bit, and the screenshots weren't showing.  It's back up now... any ideas?  Anyone?

i noticed the exact same thing, and i proceeded to uninstall "media jukebox 9.0" with scarcely any hesitation.

i wouldn't advise it.

when i next tried to open media center, it wouldn't let me, so i reinstalled the program and now i get a playback error (as i pasted into the other thread i started about this):

"There was an error starting playback.

Make sure that your system has a valid sound playback device and that it is properly configured in Media Jukebox's playback options.

(double check the output mode, output device, and output bitdepth)."

nothing appeared to be out of the ordinary in my playback options, i can no longer play music files, and i am more or less at a loss. :(

i'm about to try what was reccommended in the other thread about deleting the folder and removing the registry entries, though i'm not sure about how to do the latter.

help! ?

We'll fix this problem in the next build of Media Center. (it'll remove the orphaned "Media Jukebox" entry during installation)

Sorry for any hassles.
