remove guisettings.xml. sometimes XBMC has trouble to start if it's base config file format changed a lot. and between 1.0RC2 and RC3 there was change to XBMC Gotham.

sometimes it works, sometimes not. as far as I remember Gotham, it failed to start even with config from Gotham betas.

Thanks

I ended up doing a clean install of RC3, then fixed issues with Brantje repositary followed by applying all updates. Once that was done I copied the folder settings from settings.xml across from RC2 to RC3, plus ensuring that configs were the same via the GUI.

Now fully up and running on RC3 and updates are coming through
