mariob33 2 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I have had the weirdest error where anytime that I try and open MBC using the chocolate theme it will crash and wont load. I get the MB failed to load error msg and it takes me out to the WMC main window. if I use the MBC configurator to swap to another theme no issue. This was ok previously as the default WMC was not chocolate but now different story. This occurs on all of my MBC installs across 3 machines. Is there some shared server component with this them?

ebr 14984 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Look in the Windows\ehome folder on all your machines and, if there is a chocolate.dll in there, delete it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariob33 2 Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 I have deleted from all ehome and still get the exact same errors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14984 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 The MBC log you posted above contains a session where you successfully browsed and even played back an item with the Chocolate theme so I'm confused as to what is going on. Please post a log from when the problem actually occurs. Also, follow the instructions in "How to Report a Problem" to find the error in your Windows Event log.

dkindig 1 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 (edited) Look in the Windows\ehome folder on all your machines and, if there is a chocolate.dll in there, delete it. Thank you, ebr. This fixed the issue I was having with loading MBC with Chocolate theme enabled. Edited January 31, 2014 by dkindig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWebsmith 598 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 can you go in and mark his answer as the accepted one, so that it will mark the issue closed and ebr can get some tiny sliver of space on his mental "plate" back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not been able to get chocolate to load in wmc classic on any of my main HTPCs in forever, so im confused by the statement. On what date did I last get it to work? the issue can be replicated evey time. I can basically uninstall the chocolate theme load mbc with any other theme or the default classisc reinstall chocolate and get this error as soon as I make the selection.

Solution ebr 14984 Posted February 4, 2014 Solution Share Posted February 4, 2014 Search your entire machine for chocolate.dll. Somewhere, it is finding an old MB2 version of this plug-in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariob33 2 Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 Search your entire machine for chocolate.dll. Somewhere, it is finding an old MB2 version of this plug-in. That's was it ..There was another dll in the root of my D drive which I must have installed MB on many many moons ago . Thanks a lot for the patience.
