We need a smiley slapping itself on the forehead!
Had ass-umed that everyone had SP1 installed! Okay - I'm officially embarrassed now! |

Interesting development... I delayed our release by one day to work on this problem (which I am doing now). If SP1 fixes this then I will redirect my attention elsewhere.
Can anyone else confirm that "install SP1" is a valid fix for the problem?

Will try that tonight when I get home. Gotta reinstall Vista on the test machine anyway.
EDIT - Heck with it. In light of "the coup", will do a roll-back on this machine. Will let you know in a few hours. If you don't hear from me by then, send the Marines! Will also test the new installer whenever you're ready. Edited by LightChristmas - 01 Sep 2008 at 5:05pm |

Sorry - SP1 is not a fix. Did an install "crash" sim as described a few posts up. Did an unreg/re-reg of a corrupted MSCOMM32, install worked. Uninstalled Aurora, did SP1 upgrade, replaced MSCOMM32 with the corrupted one, install still crashed. Here is where it gets odd: renamed MSCOMM32 so the system wouldn't see it, and did clean install of Aurora. A fresh MSCOMM32 was added! Install and ops went perfectly.
Hmmmmm....... |

The DirectShow issue is fixed - in the upcoming release that is. The problem was that Aurora was defaulting to MSDXM on initial install - which Vista does not support or recognize. DirectShow will operate on both XP and Vista machines, so the install now defaults to this setting.
