Server install problems

[Nogsk]

Help! This is driving me round the twist!

I messed up a few settings on the server, do decided to uninstall and reinstall on one of my laptops, the laptop that holds most music files.

Uninstalled ok and I deleted the SB program folder.

Now I can't get it installed, just hangs on the creating directories screen

I'm running win 7 and using the same exe of 7.6.0 that was the original source of install.

I have tried turning off both windows firewall and Avast anti virus I also checked the exe file on another laptop, also win 7 - installed in about 2 minutes.

what's happening??

7.6.0 was one of the buggiest builds in recent history! I'd use at least 7.6.2 if you don't want to go to 7.7.2 (which has been trouble free). All versions are here:

Tried 7.6.2, same problem, also tried latest version, which hangs at the removing old versions splash screen.

Gor to be something simple I'm missing??

4. Go to C:\Program Files and delete the Squeezebox folder
- Click on Start

7. After the install completes, the Squeezebox Server Control Panel will launch.

Squeezebox Server will start scanning your music library. Once the music scan is complete, Squeezebox Server is now set up and ready to play music

Hi,looks like I missed the C:\programdata delete, now slowly deleting 1.2 gb's worth!

It's interesting that the squeezebox folder in the above location doesn't show in the 'start' search function.

Hopefully the problem's sorted.......................................
