HD PVR blaster on WHS

[mitchgibbs]

I am trying to migrate Sage from an XP box to an HP EX485 running Windows Home Server. The HD PVR drivers installed correctly and seem to work perfectly with SageTV. I am running into problems, however, installing the IR blaster.

When I run the install (using the latest version available from Hauppauge's website) it gets most of the way and then gives me the error:

GLJ29.tmp - Unable To Locate Component - This application has failed to start because HCWTVWND.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

If I click OK, it gives me a similar error, this time looking for HCWUTL32.dll. If I click OK, it finishes and thinks it is complete.

If I go into C:\Program Files\WinTV and try to run BlastCfg, I get an error that says "Component 'ChSuite.ocx' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid."

Any recommendations?

Thanks.

You could try to run the installer in compatibility mode.

I had to install the winTV application in order to get the missing .dll files.

Install WinTV.
Install the 2 IR programs.

You should be good to go.

I got it to work. Thanks!

For some reason, I had to install:

WinTV
The IR Remote Control software
and
The HD PVR Scheduler software

Then, I was able to successfully install the IR Blaster software.

Thanks again.

After you install you may want remove the arcsoft dameon. I had stability issues with Sage until I removed it.

I did not install any of the Arcsoft software on my WHS server. WinTV and the IR Blaster programs are on the Hauppage CD.
