Pete,
I think that all that needs to be done is delete the periodic event that runs movies.wsf each day. There is likely a few tables created in a database that will not disturb anything, but you can delete them. They all have Theater or Movie type names. I include the install.txt file with the package I send Rich, but I do not know if it is downloaded. This will itemize all files that were installed. I'll attach it here. I believe the default ini configuration is to not use virtual devices so they should not of been created. They will be T1, T2, etc and can be deleted. All the "creation" damage is done with moviesInstall.txt. You can look in there to see if anything else is affected.
jcannon,
I cannot quickly think of a dependency between having good Theaters, Movies, and MovieTimes data but no MovieDevices or Virtual Devices containing data. The easiest thing for me is to get a copy of your mcsMovies.ini file. The database would also be useful so see what was actually retrieved at your end.
Some common problems with the movies package in the past that you may want to check:
1. The TheaterIds.txt items selected are not within the nearest "n" theaters of your selected zip code. Increase the zip=n value for n.
2. MoviesInstall.txt was not run after an update to mcsMovies.ini was made and movies update event run after the moviesInstall.txt was run.
3. Do install the patch near the end of this thread so you will get the icons correctly.
