Trouble running RCB - never seen ConfigurationWizard only "Cancelling in Progress" message

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Start XBMC
2. Attempt to open "Rom Collection Browser".

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
This is a clean install and i think i should be seeing a configure window where 
i would create the confiq (going by the wiki), though i am receiving the 
following:

"Cancelling in Progress
Import is still being cancelled, Please try again later."

I have checked the addon settings window and made sure that Import Games on 
Startup is disabled, i then made sure it was disibled within the setting.xml:

"<setting id="rcb_scrapeOnStartupAction" visible="false" type="labelenum" 
values="update|cancel|nothing" default="nothing"/>".

I also disabled the service Rom Collection Browser Service.

I have tried different skins though that has not helped.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I am using XBMC 11.0 and have tried versions 0.99 and 1.02 of Rom Collection 
Browser on Windows 7 64 service pack 1.

Please provide any additional information below.
I have tried leaving XBMC open for a day after receiving the message though i'm 
still unfortunately receiving the message.

I dont know what else i can do that may fix this problem, Unfortunately this 
makes Rom Collection Browser unusable, if there is anything else i could do or 
provide that may help to fix this problem please let me know and i'll get back 
to you as soon as possible.

Kind Regards,
Nathan

Yes, this issue was reported several times. I have to find a better way to 
handle this.

The settings.xml that you checked is the wrong one. Please check one of the 
following files for this setting:

XBMC\userdata\guisettings.xml
XBMC\userdata\addon_data\script.games.rom.collection.browser\settings.xml
XBMC\userdata\addon_data\service.rom.collection.browser\settings.xml

I am not sure where this setting is located. I have to check myself but I am 
still setting up my new dev environment...

Ok, I just checked again. The setting is located in 
XBMC\userdata\addon_data\script.games.rom.collection.browser\settings.xml.

It should look like this:
<setting id="rcb_scrapeOnStartupAction" value="nothing" />

Have to check why it is on "cancel" on your system. Did you use scrape on 
startup earlier?

I have just gone through your reply above an altered the settings.xml, 
re-enabled RBC and now when i click on it it now shows a small window saying:

Cancelling in Progress

Import is still being cancelled, please try again later.

I have waited several hours but it still keeps saying this??

@richardorme: Are you and nmbowerman the same person? Just to know if we have 
one problem with the same setup or maybe two different problems.

When you go into addon settings is "import games on XBMC startup" enabled? And 
please show me a log file after trying to launch RCB.

There is something wrong with your setup now. This is the error message from 
the log:

RCB_ERROR: Configuration error. parseInstruction file 
D:\Arcade\Emulators\Jnes\kailleraclient.dll does not exist.

Maybe you should delete all RCB configurations from 
"XBMC\userdata\addon_data\script.games.rom.collection.browser\" and start again.

OK i just deleted all the above files and uninstalled RCB. I restarted xbmc and 
below is the log file.

I then installed RCB via the 'Get Addons' function within xbmc. closed xbmc to 
restart and attached the 2nd log.

Then i launched XBMC and launched the RCB and got the same problems as 
previously mentioned. Script failed on XBMC launch and then the 'Import is 
still in progress'
3rd log is after launching RCB.

Thanks.

There is still the same error in the log:

RCB_ERROR: Configuration error. parseInstruction file 
D:\Arcade\Emulators\Jnes\kailleraclient.dll does not exist.

Are you sure you deleted all configuration files? You must check at: 
"C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\addon_data\script.games.rom.col
lection.browser". AppData is hidden by default.

I had unhidden the appdata folder and every time i have tried to reinstall RCB 
i have gone in there and deleted and RCB files before reinstalling. But it stil 
keeps installing and not working????
I have deleted RCB and started XBMC and here is the log. Then i install RCB and 
attached is the 2nd log after installation. Straight away it comes up with the 
dblauncher fail...

Its as if when i install it, it is corrupt every time, but im downloading it 
and installing it through xbmc?????

You don't need to reinstall RCB every time. All configuration is stored 
separately from the code files. Anyway, if you reinstall an addon, XBMC will 
always search in "C:\Users\lom\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\addons\packages" an just 
reinstalls the .zip-file that it downloaded before. It will not redownload the 
same version of an addon twice.

In all your logs there is the same error: "RCB_ERROR: Configuration error. 
parseInstruction file D:\Arcade\Emulators\Jnes\kailleraclient.dll does not 
exist."

Do you see the config file on your HDD? This is where the corrupt config.xml is 
located:

C:\Users\Richard\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\addon_data\script.games.rom.colle
ction.browser\config.xml

Do you have any windows routines running that restore deleted files or 
something like this?

As far as i know i don't have have restore programs running. Its pretty much a 
bare bones windows 7 64bit running XBMC, firefox and skype.
Is there anywhere i can download a different config.xml file and replace the 
corrupt one on my HDD?

Original comment by richardo...@gmail.com on 17 May 2012 at 7:06

[GoogleCodeExporter]

No, config.xml is always specific to your own system (containing paths etc.). 
Only way is to delete the config.xml and recreate it within RCB.

Ok so i went and deleted the Config.xml, re-enabled RCB and, boom, problem 
still exists!  :(

Man this is annoying!!!

How large is your XBMC folder in "C:\Users\Richard\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\"? Can 
you zip it and send it to me?

Somewhere on your system must be an invalid config.xml file that is causing the 
problem.

Woo Hooo i finally got it going. I went back and made sure the config file was 
deleted, restarted the pc, relaunched XBMC and RCB. It asked if i wanted to 
create a new config.xml

It launched and is now working fine!!! Thank you so much for all of your 
help!!!!!!
