Title: mc2xml.exe is not a valid win32 application???
Post by: badger on October 02, 2009, 04:17:43 pm: I'm installing MC (for TV) on a new system (win7-64) and I'm getting this error. This has worked for me in the past so I'm not sure what the problem is. I downloaded a new mc2xml.exe from their website, but MC gives me the "invalid win32 application" when I try to load the program guide (by checking the "mc2xml" option. Any ideas?

Their server terminates the download if you take too long picking a path. I've seen an incomplete executable on several machines because of this.

It tries to match automatically by name.

Could you give some examples of some of your mappings? Maybe we could improve the algorithm.

Do I not have to choose each channel from the dropdown list?
