This will not be a problem with anymore releases, All new versions will work with your same RC2 release candidate serial number, no more "invalid license" and requesting a serial number everytime...

One thing I noticed was you MUST uninstall the previous version using control panel. NOT just by deleting the folder!
If you delete the folder and then clean the registry it still will not allow you to install, no matter what! I was lucky that I had the deleted folder in waste bin so I could restore it, then uninstall it properly, then it worked.

I couldn't understand what was stopping it though as there was nothing about flux or CF in registry, all references had gone, all folders had gone, including Phoco but it still knew that I had had CF installed! Maybe something to do with Windows Installer

Anyway peeps...
MAKE SURE YOU UN-INSTALL IT FROM CONTROL PANEL, THEN DELETE LEFT OVER FOLDERS

Unfortunately, it doesn't work despite my removing all apparent traces of the program from the computer. As you can see above, TJ is having the same problem. It doesn't seem like a licensing issue, but more like there's something left behind that we can't find which makes CF think there's an existing install. Is there any file or registry entry that doesn't have "flux" or "centrafuse" in it that could be causing the problem? Interestingly, the new version installed just fine on my carputer after I uninstalled the old version and deleted the folder.

John, I did use control panel to uninstall.

note: If you hit pause you should not hear any audio, if you do then it's not coming from Centrafuse.. After you pause, unplug the cable from line-in, if the audio stops immedietaly, then your line is un-muted and it should not be... I have it on my list to mute the line you set to control on load of XM...

Cool.. okay. I'll play more with it. I have engine problems on my truck this morning so CF had to take a backseat.

I have a side question about the preload... "why?".

I understand being able to pause the live audio, and I figure that you can rewind as well, but if preloading is costing us channel-hopping time (and giving you complaints) then maybe it's not such a good idea?

I know that I hope around a lot on XM (I'm using AIMEE now, and a dedicated head unit before CF) and if my surfing is "always" going to be slowed down, then, umm... ewww.

Control Panel uninstall, and there is no "C:\Program Files\Flux Media" directory, and yet there were still a ton of references in the registry which I manually removed.. and am still unable to install RC2. I'm thinking there must still be something else left behind in the registry that is preventing the install.

In RC2 I noticed for few times now that when I am watching music videos in full screen and click next or previous track, it happens that I hear 2 songs at the same time. I have to click Pause then and after that I only here one song from background (not displayed)?

And I also noticed that header with song title often doesn not refresh... next track is playing but header still shows previous song... even if you click another song, header is still showing pre-previous?

I haven't found similar issues in 1.7, only in RC2?

follow-up... re: XM plugin

Life is better. I'm now not sure what was causing what I was hearing before; well, I figure that (like you said David) it was that my LINE_IN was unmuted, but now I can't make it happen. Strange.

I have a side question about the preload... "why?".

And after playing with the plugin for a while last night, I still have this question.

If you manually deleted it, you need to somehow get the directory structure back (from a backup maybe) so that control panel can uninstall it, that solves the problem

I recon windows installer knows its installed the software, and hasn't removed it so it thinks its still there

and hence will not allow it to install new version, which incidentally it thinks is an older version due to the version number change from 1.7 to 0.96

Thanks for the suggestion, but I did a "real" uninstall from the control panel already.

I was listing the steps I had already taken to remove RC1.
