I'm afraid I've got stuck at step 6 as I can't find the fix_MSSQLLite.cmd file and I have set Windows 10 to show all hidden files and folders. This is what the WMC-V8.8.4 folder looks like my end on opening: [Subfolder] bin [Files] _ReadMe.txt _TestRights.cmd 8.7-8.8-QuickFix.reg BackupRestoreSettings.cmd InstallerBLUE.cmd InstallerGREEN.cmd ResetSettings.cmd Uninstaller.cmd Workarounds.txt
Awesome plplplpl, I have just successfully installed WMC after I was on the verge of giving up yesterday morning! I can't think why Microsoft discontinued it, I'm sure Windows DVD Player isn't the same thing. It was the WMC Wikipedia article that led me to this site (what was that nonsense of "This claim needs references to better sources" about? It was this source that led me to finally install this software!). Thanks very much!
I think it is because they link to a very old installer. 8.8.4 is hard to find unless you know where to look.
I just had 2004 hoisted on me before I am ready, losing WMC. First will you tell me how to find V8.8.4. I have one zipped one which is 88,220kb.Is that it? I unzipped it into C:\\WMC8.8.4. Uninstalled. Rebooted. It doesn't open after installing. Rebooted. I have <restore_mssqllite.zip> which is 825 kb. I unzipped it into C:\\WMC8.8.4. Ran it It doesn't open after installing.It doesn't open after installing. What should I be doing?

your directory listing has got rather mangled but basically, you need to put the files in the first list into wmc-v8.8.4 and the files in the second list into wmc-v8.4.4\bin, as per the readme. all the cmd files should be in the same folder and all the bat files should be in the bin folder below.

Very many thanks for your patience and efforts. All set up. Great to have live TV back. Guide search would be great.
Hello, I am French and you only read my Google translation. I want to thank everyone who works so that WMC can still be used under W10. Thanks to Remi and the windowsmediacenter.fr site, I managed to use WMC until May 2020 under W10 19.03 and since July, I can use it under W10 20.04 thanks to Tecnodevotee However I am a little worried: - the French site windowsmediacenter.fr will soon close, it talks about giving up maintaining WMC under W10 - Technodevotee which managed to make WMC work under W10 20.04 no longer gives access to its version WMC-V13_x64.zip and talks about stopping distributing its patches from mid-September ... (technodevotee.co. uk / WMC-Downloads.htm) Can you tell me if I will have to settle for mediocre alternatives (schibopvr or other ...) in the future? Are so few of us still using WMC? Good WE to all and ... give me good news "please" Christophe Bonjour, Je suis francophone et vous ne lisez que ma traduction par Google. Je souhaite remercier tous ceux qui travaillent pour que WMC puisse toujours être utilisé sous W10. Grace à Remi et le site windowsmediacenter.fr, j'ai réussi à utiliser WMC jusqu'en mai 2020 sous W10 19.03 et depuis juillet, je peux l'utiliser sous W10 20.04 grace à Tecnodevotee Cependant je suis un peu inquiet : - le site francophone windowsmediacenter.fr va bientôt fermer, il parle de renoncer à maintenir WMC sous W10 - Technodevotee qui a réussi a faire fonctionner WMC sous W10 20.04 ne donne plus accès à sa version WMC-V13_x64.zip et parle de cesser de diffuser ses patchs à partir de mi-septembre... (technodevotee.co.uk/WMC-Download Pouvez-vous me dire si je devrai, à l'avenir, me contenter des médiocres alternatives (schibopvr ou autre...) ? Sommes nous si peu nombreux à encore utiliser WMC ? Bon WE à tous et... rassurez moi "please" Christophe
L'avenir est toujours quelque peu incertain, mais pour le présent WMC fonctionne encore sous Windows 10 2004 avec les procédures expliquées ici récemment. Ne perds pas foi.
