I have XP Media Center too, but with 2 Mb. Try closing everything else before installing, after a fresh start up.
I’m having similar issues with the new install.
I’m using the 2/16/2007 1:10 PM version of the 1.6 install. I started by uninstalling the 1.5x version and re-booting the PC. Running the install program from the Windows explorer, I accepted all of the defaults and it ran fine until it came time to create the sample database (see attached screen shot). I closed the error report screen without sending and the install completed. I ran the setup program again in repair/modify mode and the install, including samples, ran to completion with no errors.
When I tried to run the sample CRM application, I received another “Send an Error Report to Microsoft” message. Deleting the all the files under “Document and Settings\All Users\Application Data\MicroFour” and re-running the connection wizard cleared up the problem and the sample program runs normally. I also upgraded an exisitng application to 1.6 and Infragistics 6.3 and everything appears to be functioning normally.
I’m running Windows XP Pro SP2 and VS 2005 SP1. The StrataFrame databases are on a separate SQL 2005 server.
