    You guys are full of it, I'm 61 done gaming PC for years, I led the 2000 census application written in Power Builder (don't laugh ), anyways, that link doesn't go to the same page as displayed in the thread, it's changed , unless I'm supposed to use Chrome or Fox, my add blocker is on, if I block more its a blank page, there is only one download with a download with download manager, just looking for some help not the usual forum bullies that seem to delight in useless replies. So being an old fart, you're supposed to say here yu go old timer, this is the link that you're supposed to use.

    T-S, I am at the moment using your installer V8.8.1 and it works great.

    Thank you for all your hard work. I do however think sometimes you and others come across as dicks! You have to remember that most of us that use your installer are not programmers or even try to understand what your working on next ( Xbox 360 extenders hopefully ) I agree that a link to a server without all the checkbox S*!$ would be so much better and easier for the folks that just don't have a clue.

    I'm sorry if I come across as if I'm having a go at you, I'm not! Just don't think everyone brain works as you guys, I think are doing a fantastic job to get WMC working in Windows 10. But when a person asks a simple question give them a simple answer. ( Don't ask them to read through pages and pages of posts ) Just point or answer the question directly.

    I've been watching this thread now for months I have no idea how these boards work nor do I need to ( Life is to short and at almost 50 all I want to do is set a recording up in WMC and the wife to watch it. :) ) If you guys spent as much time bitching as you do on this project you could have bought the rights from M$ for WMS and sold it to us all, you make a lot of money. :)

    Hope I haven't offended anyone. but I'm just sick of the "he said they said posts".

    Luv that post, simple answer, for a simple download link, not a Donald Trump URL :) Found a ONEDRIVE link, with all manner of versions, message me if anyone wants it, not going to post it as I may be infringing the forum gods.

    Ok, just a coincidence. But you need to understand that

    #1 this is not the support center of a big SW house, this is a forum's thread where people answer if and when can.
    Now you asked at 19:14 according to my local time, and you blamed for no reply at 21:00. Less than 2hrs if my math is not flawed.


    Now I think that in six decades you had enough time to learn at least a bit of good manners

    #2 What you call useless replies are indeed useless replies, given if you took 5 minutes to read few pages back you had all the replies to your answers w/o asking anything.

    I'm not sure why some people thinks their time is precious, while other's time is not

    #3 if you need help start describing your problem correctly, in this very case mention what browser you're using, what OS you're on, what is you geographical location and so on

    Thank you for your reply, still without a clear link or URL that allows for easy download, I used the link from page 532 and it didn't work for me, there was no checkbox. it's a lot of stuff to search through, just wanted a way to download v8.8.1, so I searched the internet and found one that was easy to use.

    But guys/gals, don't get me wrong, your work and effort is priceless, so i'm not really trying to be rude or upset anyone :worthy: :worthy: :worthy:

    I know what you mean. That upload site is s**t. I don't know why anyone would upload a file to a site which tries to trick us into downloading crap. Especially in this forum. :(

    When used as mentioned by T-S it's a safe site, just uncheck the downloadmanager checkbox ;)

    A reputable site wouldn't have that as a requirement.

    A FREE reputable site stays afloat thanks to the ads and unlike the crappy browser you're using, avoiding them is pretty easy

    I really can't understand how you can live with your PC plenty of Google and MS spyware and, at the same time, blaming a site where a checkbox is enough to stay safe

    I have no problem with the checkbox as I am astute. I don't use a crappy browser, I use Chrome, and I do not have any spyware on my computer thank you. I am not paranoid, and I live in the real world. There are plenty of people who are complaining about disreputable upload sites which make downloading spyware relatively easy such as the one with WMC on it. No matter how much you defend this upload site, T-S it is still a malware laden site. I would think you would care more about the members of this forum. You do great work, but you really need to choose your sites more carefully unless you are really trying to get people to install malware, and this I doubt.

    Chrome is a giant spyware, and you know that perfectly

    I don't need to defend anything. It's a cyberlocker like any other, and it's the one I choose. Period.

    I care about people able to read one row if instructions, or able to look at a dumbproof picture, the remaining ones aren't my target.

    People,
    Can we stop polluting this thread with unnecessary posts.
    Respect T-s's wishes regarding re posting.
    Point All new people to the first post with clear instructions on how to download, inc the idiot proof pics...
    First thing a new poster needs so say/ or be asked is, have you read and understood the first post...

    About Xboxes not connecting in version 10586.589, I found out the solution... The update removes RDPWrap functionality... So you must find the files and click on update.bat to reapply the patch for remote desktop. Then it's all ready and rocking!

    UPDATE: Also need to rerun the icacls statement to disable explorer.exe window from destroying connection...

    Run in _TestRights.bat command prompt the following line:

    icacls C:\Windows\explorer.exe /deny "Performance Monitor Users":F

    There is nothing anyone can do about your paranoia, or lack of compassion. I have no idea what your issues are, but perhaps you need professional help.
