I ran the installer with the DVR running. Instead of a dated directory, it looks like the latest stable release is installed in a directory called "latest" - I thought I saw a shortcut before.
What SHOULD C:\ProgramData\ChannelsDVR look like?
Should be a shortcut in this folder that points to the exe file in the "latest" folder. It contains the running version. All the dated folders are previously installed versions. They are not used except for troubleshooting problems.
