SFC Repair Related to this Uninstall v12 Using v8 is the SFC Repair. Anyone want to take a run at that one?
My basement PC has had WMC on it working fine (except live TV, I just watch recorded tv from my main PC), until it auto-updated to the newest preview build. It said something about being removed by Windows and when I tried to play it, it said unauthorized program??? Anyway, my fix was to just revert back to Windows 10 stable build. My concern is when the update happens, what the solution will be since my main PC is now working perfect (minus the full-screen with 2 monitors on...sorry Crash2009 ) with extenders.
Sweet! Agreed! So, once the new inevitable upgrade happens, we should uninstall using v8 and then re-install v12 (in my case with the modified script that allows RDP and extenders)??
crash2009- did you have any comment to my #5223 due to 5185 & 5186? I mean: can I proceed with those items given in 5186 with my version of Windows 10? Appreciate a reply/comment
I don't know about your OS version. I thought you knew where the Xbox meluvalli, Gareth north steps are.
You need to uninstall and reinstall WMC each time you do an in place upgrade, no matter if to the same or newer version. If you care more about stability than bells and whistles just use the LTSB version
I'd say go on the defensive. System Image on DVD for starters. Block updates. Sit back and watch them all blow up, keep reading and wait for the fix.
Or just hold shift while you right click on the file and select "copy as path" If TestRights doesn't open a new window then reboot and try again, this indicates a problem per the readme
Uninstall v12 Using v8 Thanks, seems quicker your way. When I do as you suggest I get.... "C:\Win10Project\WMC\WMC_V8\WindowsMediaCenter\bin\Uninstall.bat" Do the quotation marks need to be removed? "....." EDIT...I just tested Readme.txt Quotation marks do not need to be removed.
I am new to this site and obviously a novice. I am not sure where I can get these builds or exactly what a build is. I am very interested as I now have windows 7 but know that eventually I will probably have to change to windows 10. I use media center to record all my on air tv programs and don't want to lose it. I would really appreciate it if you could take the time to educate me on the process of installing the builds you spoke of. Hank
Hi Hank1111, A build can refer to the version of the hacked wmc to run on windows 10, or the build version of windows 10, more probably the latter. You can upgrade to windows 10 by upgrading from windows 7, or a clean install of windows 10. Please see the first post of this thread for links to the latest build...ver of mce for win10. instructions are in the download. when asking for help let us know which way you chose to get to win 10, exactly what you did to install, cant emphasise enough to read the instructions and follow them along with the work arounds... Please read the readme before you do anything, which says some of the following... Right click the downloaded file and click properties and uncheck "UNBLOCK" BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING... Make a dir in the root of c:\ and extract to there. Good luck. let us know how you get on. Before you start I would make a ghost image of your current hdd/ssd, or test using virtual box, or test on another machine. Where are you, what tuner do you use....
Post 1 always has the latest version. You can also click the links in my signature for a few of the more recent versions, as well as a couple add-on's that are commonly suggest. Do not click Use Download Manager. To eliminate virus attack, use Download through Browser Setup a few folders to make the backup easier. I backup to an External "Passport" so I can duplicate the project anywhere. Read Readme and Workaround.txt The 2 files are in your WMC64 folder. The Preparation Section is NOT optional. Click on v12 in my signature, read the first 30-40 pages, myself and others have posted our success's and failure's during the install process. Also read the first 30-40 pages of v11....... v11 and v12 have many similar steps. Use the Search Thread button for searching details.
Backup, System Image, File Copy I was thinking about trying PowerShell to do a backup. PowerShell Run as Admin Code: wbadmin start backup -backupTarget:F: -include:C: -allCritical -quiet Looks like it worked... What are we using for file copy these days? In the past, I think I used xcopy, my favorite was robocopy Decided to try RoboCopy since someone took the time to include it in Win10. Code: RoboCopy C:\Win10Project F:\Win10Project /mir just one dir skipped... wonder which one?
