I am Running Media Center on a Vista Ultimate 64bits OS.

I installed mcephone and MCEaucion and i'm getting the following error messages.

 INVALID APPLICATION

Unable to launch "MCEauction background listener"

PROGRAM NOT RESPONDING

The mcephone background listener program has stopped responding and you will be returned to windows media center.

Any ideas??

Please help,

Thank you,

Zeek

I too am having the same problems

Anyone figure out a resolution?

 Anyone have any idea how I can get mceAuction working in Windows 7? It installed fine but since then I've been unable to get it working?

I'm getting a INVALID APPLICATION dialog popup. "unable to launch 'mceAuction Background Listener' error.

Hi all

I see the last post was a few months and this may be fixed now.

In case anyone still has a problem with this there is a fix. Well this worked for me....

The install copies the file mceSkypeListener.dll to \Program Files\mcephone, this dll has the version 3.0.0.5.

In the registry there is a key under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Media Center\Extensibility\Entry Points\{35626... called AddIn.

If you search for mceSkypeListener you'll get to this key.

In the value there is mceSkypeListener, version=x.x.x.x.

If you change the version to match the version of your dll you should be right.

On my install the version was 3.0.0.4. I changed to 3.0.0.5, restarted media center and I no longer get the background listener error.

I have only tested chat at this stage and I get a notification in to say a new message has come in.

Hopefully this should fix this error for you.

I have a few other niggling problems with mcePhone and will be looking into these too.
