hi,

I'm trying to install a new version of xbmc for mac but everytime it says "xbmchelper is in use". so I'm not able to overwrite the existing xbmc.
anyone able to help?

if I overwrite my existing xbmc installation does it keep my userdata ?

thanks,
chris

Run Activity monitor (OSX program) and kill the process, then try. Overwriting the program does not overwrite your userdata which is in "~\Library\Application Support\XBMC\".

yes you need to kill the process, you can also do this in terminal

Code:

killall XBMCHelper

or

Code:

killall -9 XBMCHelper

There is even more simple way: just to trash old copy of XBMC before installing new version.

That will not help if XBMCHelper is running.
