Download Only

In case you wish to install MediaPortal on another PC, HDD or clean OS,  you should choose the Only download required components option.  This will save all the required files for installing MediaPortal to a folder called MediaPortal Installation that is created in your temporary files folder.

Once you complete this option, the folder containing all downloaded files will open so you can copy the complete folder to your HTPC and then simply start the MediaPortal installation.

Note: The following section applies ONLY  if you chose the Only download required components option. 

After selecting the language and architecture of the operating system of the PC you want to install MediaPortal on, a list including all necessary components will be presented to you.

The MediaPortal installer already includes the main MediaPortal application and the TV-Server, so these don't need to be downloaded.

Click the Download button to start downloading all components. All files will be downloaded to a folder named MediaPortal Installation that is created underneath your temporary files folder. If not already installed on your PC, Windows Media Player 11 has to be downloaded manually. For this the installer will present you an according download link.

After all downloads have finished click the Exit button to close the installer. 

The folder containing all downloaded files will now open. To install MediaPortal from the downloads folder, copy the complete directory to your HTPC and then simply start MediaPortal.DeployTool.exe.

Go to Select Options and select Start with the installation now,
