okay, so the issue is that xbmc is not seeing the plugins in the plugins folder.
this is on a fresh install of windows 7 rc build 7100 which might have something to do with it as i have been using xbmc for a while on xp sp3 with no problems.
i first tried the stable release, 9.04 i think, and couldn't even see the apple movie trailers plugin that is put in during the setup.
then i tried to install the kricker build 20464 and that didnt help either.

i'm not sure if i got the debug log thing right, but here:

Any ideas?
Thanks, any help would be appreciated.

plugins have to be in C:\Users\Media Center\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\plugins.
You can use the svn repository installer which installs them to the right place.

thanks a lot!
it's weird though, i definitely checked the option to store the data info in the program files folder, and also that is where it reads the skins from.
but whatever, it works.

It depends how you start XBMC.exe. The installer creates a start menu link with -p to store the data in the xbmc installation directory. If you call xbmc.exe later on without -p it uses the profile directory.
Only plugins and scripts are taken from the profile directory yet.
