Random Uninstallation of Theme

[koi 3]

With the latest dev build, the theme I'm using (Xenon) is randomly uninstalled.  Installed is the log I think where this occurred.

Are you sure you meant xenon?  That appears to be loading fine but something else is not:

Yes, Xenon was the selected theme.  When it "disappears", it's gone from the installed plugins.  I have to reinstall and restart for it to reappear.  It happens intermittently, so I'm not sure what the problem is.  I'll post another log after when it happens again so a comparison can be made, unless you have other suggestions.  Thanks!

[koi 3]

OK, it happened again.  I have three logs with a quit/restart after each incident: 1) Log from when Xenon mysteriously uninstalled and had Chocolate in it's place, quit and 2) Installed Xenon, quit and 3) Restarted MBC and reselected Xenon as theme.

Xenon is undoubtedly one of these:

What that error is saying is that you are trying to load a 64bit program on a 32bit platform.  However, I suspect that is a false error and the dll is actually corrupted somehow.  Do you have any sort of active AV system that might be trying to "clean" the dll when we load it?

[koi 3]

No, there's no AV program on that computer.  Any way to remove the potentially corrupt DLL and replace it with a good copy?  This only occurred after installation of the recent dev version of MBC.

[ebr 15545]

It doesn't have anything to do with the versions of MBC.

 

I would remove all the dlls from your plugins folder on that machine and then re-install only the plug-ins you actually need.

[koi 3]

Will do and I'll report back if it does or doesn't resolve the issue.  Thanks!

[koi 3]

So I deleted all the plugins in the folder, and reinstalled only Xenon.  Interestingly, even after restarting, going into plugins shows a "Restart required" for Xenon.

I have been seeing this as well with xenon but only on one pc. I have it installed and actively used on my regular htpc and not seeing this behavior there. I'll have to see if there is a difference in update levels on each machine.

buddyweiser.  Thanks for the confirmation!  I thought I might be the only one experiencing these strange occurrence.  It's a bit annoying as it is my main HTPC.
