Uninstall v12 using v8 1) run TestRights 2) ?-1 Not sure what you mean by "paste in uninstaller.bat" 2) ?-2 I do not have uninstaller.bat in the bin folder 2) ?-3 I do have uninstall.bat ?-1 Do you mean physically copy and paste uninstall.bat from the bin folder to the WindowsMediaCenter folder ? ?-2 or navigate to bin folder and run uninstall.bat ? ?-3 or are you suggesting that I simply run Uninstaller.cmd from the WindowsMediaCenter folder ? Thanks for helping me "get this right", I have been unclear on this process since Day 1.
Sorry, it is called uninstall.bat. Run _TestRights.cmd as administrator. It will open a Window. Navigate to bin folder in your File Explorer. Copy as path uninstall.bat. Go to the open _TestRights.cmd windows and paste in the path and press Enter on your keyboard. When it is done reboot as it says, or continue with your Windows Insider Preview Upgrade.

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....
