4.0 Hoster Don't work after 4.2 install

[Joe Nieves]

Thank You Madjim for your input


I did exactly what you discribed in your helpful responce I also restarted my computer and rescaned with my registry cleaner again before continuing with the 4.0 istall,

Why can't I get 4.2 out of my computers hard drive.

Is it because of some protection scheme or some other folder/files that MTU is not telling us about that's at work here in my system and wont let older programs to install as they did before?

Is this the problem I will have to live with until they get it right for 4.3 or 4.XX and possibly lose my gig.

why can't an MTU programer help me resolve this problem with there program.

I Just want to get Hoster 4.1 installed and running like before in my computer. Please

It's not my fault that this is happening to me.

It all started when I installed Hoster 4.2 last week of this I am certain.

Did 4.0 install for you?

It should uninstall:

1. Go to Control Panel

2. Go to "Add or Remove Program"

3. Select Hoster

4. Click on "Remove"

No

If it's not fixed. We are trying to get you going Joe, please work with us. Nobody wants you to loose a gig but that is ultimatly up to your actions. We can get you going if you let us but we can't keep your gig for you. I recommend you get a backup system.

why can't an MTU programer help me resolve this problem with there program.

They are busy building Hoster 4.

I Just want to get Hoster 4.1 installed and running like before in my computer. Please

It's not my fault that this is happening to me.

We want you running too Joe. Please calm down, take your time and follow our directions. Also we need calm, accurate reports from you. You posted this big report and the only thing that is clear is that you are upset.

Why is it you are the only one having this "can't uninstall 4.02" problem?


I see you followed my directions? Did they work?

I'm just goofy from being up all night again. Insomnia can be a bitch. I did, however, get 1/2 way through my songs adding all the genre info.

Cool.

Joe is it ALL of your songs that won't play now or is it still just the Zip files?
As Jim said instead of ranting and raving if you will calmly answer the questions maybe we can get to the bottom of this. You are the only one having this particular problem. Others are having zip problems but their's error out in the conversion showing corrupted files.
Have you tried a restore to take you back to a point before all of this started? This or a total reloading of the computer may be the only options but not yet.

Hi ddouglass

What do you mean by a total reloading.

[ddouglass]

Windows.

Just a stab in the dark ... is it possible that your 'hoster402setup' installation file is incorrectly labelled 'hoster401setup'. In other words, is it possible that although you think you are installing 4.01, for some reason you're actually installing 4.02?

No such thing as a dumb question

Sorry about the confusion,
I posted these problems before with a detail explanation and I’m explaining it in different ways to see if someone can come up with an answer.

When I wrote (installing 4.0 comes up with 4.2 features) I’m talking about the instabutton and the singer’s database those features as far as I recall was not in Hoster 4.0.

Again I did previously post what I did after installation of Hoster 4.0 and I did what you suggested and yes the version was Hoster 4.0.

And yes I did restore to a earlier point and that did not help as far as my song files just kept getting errors on a lot of my song files when I checked those files with microstudio they all play and worked fine no problems but not in Hoster 4.1 or 3.4.

Again I posted all this detail on previous post since last Thursday 8-07-08.

Please I do appreciate everybody’s input in helping me with this problem.

But no one from MTU has tried to help me resolve this problem that started when I installed Hoster 4.2 everything before then was working fine.


Hi BEECEE

Thanks for the input

No

All my Hoster install files are in one folder and are the same ones that I originally used to install Hoster 4.0 4.1 and 4.2 I also verified that version after install in the help menu.

Thanks Joe....

Joe, maybe I can look at this from a different perspective. First of all 4.0 was when they added all the new fancy features. 4.01 & 4.02 were created to solve the problems/errors people were getting from 4.0, not to add new features.

When you re-install, are you rebuilding your database?
Also, when you say the songs won't play, but will play with MicroStudio, how are you accessing these songs? If you are pulling up a previously saved playlist & playing the songs from there, there is a good chance they won't play for a variety of reasons, including the "path" may have changed. (I believe I use "saved playlists" more than others, so that's why I am asking.) If you ADD the song again (after you rebuild) to the Playlist, then it should work.

If not, then you do have more serious problems, which are probably computer related & not Hoster related. If so, I'm sure Dale or Jim will take the extra time to walk you though it.

4.0 HAS INSTABUTTONS AND THE SINGER DATABASE.

GOOD, THANK YOU! IF IT SAYS 4.0 THEN IT IS 4.0 NOT 4.02.

And yes I did restore to a earlier point and that did not help as far as my song files just kept getting errors on a lot of my song files when I checked those files with microstudio they all play and worked fine no problems but not in Hoster 4.1 or 3.4.

WHAT KIND OF FILES ARE GIVING YOU A ERROR MESSAGE? WHAT DOES THE ERROR MESSAGE SAY? OTHERS ARE HAVING A ZIP FILE ISSUE, ARE THEY ZIP FILES?

Again I posted all this detail on previous post since last Thursday 8-07-08.

I BELIEVE THAT YOUR EMOTIONS ARE PREVENTING YOU FROM GETING YOUR POINT ACCROSS. THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE BEEN INSTALLING 4.0 AND SAYING IT'S 4.02 FOR DAYS NOW SHOWS ME YOU ARE NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO A SOLUTION. YOU ARE TOO FOCUSED ON COMPLAINING.

Please I do appreciate everybody’s input in helping me with this problem.

But no one from MTU has tried to help me resolve this problem that started when I installed Hoster 4.2 everything before then was working fine.

JOE, IF THIS UPSETS YOU, THEN YOU ARE JUST GOING TO HAVE TO BE UPSET. MTU IS IN THE MIDDLE OF MAKING MAJOR CHANGES TO HOSTER, THEY HAVE TO STAY ON TASK. BRINGING YOU PROBLEM TO THE BOARD WILL GET YOUR IT SOLVED. PLEASE STOP INSINUATING THAT YOU ARE BEING IGNORED.

YOU CAN ALWAYS GET YOUR MONEY BACK.

JOE, DO YOU HAVE A BACKUP OF YOUR KMA FILES THAT HAS NOT BEEN TOUCHED BY ANY VERSION OF HOSTER 4?

IF YOUR KMA FILES HAVE BECOME CORRUPT, USE YOUR KMA BACKUP FILES AND START OVER WITH 3.321 OR ANOTHER PREVIOUS VERSION.
