Title: Download MC10 + MC11 trial probs
Post by: samplehead on September 12, 2005, 06:44:28 am
Hi,

I'm a registered MC10 user, just trying MC11 trial version and experiencing constant crashes. (I did uninstall MC10 fully).  Where can I download my good old MC10 again, I need my working system back as soon as possible...

Quick questions about MC11. Is there a problem with the Remote Server in the trial version? Also, I was expecting a file called "Media Center 11 Launcher.exe" in Windows\System32 but all I could find was MC11.exe. Is this possibly another trial version only problem?

I'd like to upgrade to MC11, but the trial version problems are not giving me much confidence right now...

Thanks,
Samplehead

Why?

When Upgrading to mc11, it requires a registered version of MC10 installed

There is no separate trial version. MC11 just has a try-out period before a purchase is needed.

I have found MC11 very stable. You could tell more about the crashes. Perhaps there is a solution, especially if MC10 has worked without problems.

Remote server should work normally, but I think it needs MC11 at the both ends. The launcher has been renamed as "MC11.exe".

King,

I am sorry the say, but you're wrong this time. The MC10 uninstaller does not remove the registry keys that are needed for detecting a previous license. (I suppose samplehead didn't tweak the registry manually.)

I forgot to add this. MC10 is available here: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=10029.0

I know I heard that before.
