I got it installed, but it says it is not in my account. Is this code right? Wouldn't there be something specific to user account?

Code:

Add-AppxPackage -Path Microsoft.WindowsDVDPlayer2_2019.16102.10251.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe.AppxBundle -DependencyPath Microsoft.VCLibs.140.00_14.0.22929.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe_VS2015.appx,Microsoft.VCLibs.140.00_14.0.22929.0_x86__8wekyb3d8bbwe_VS2015.appx

With proper paths of course.

Abbodi:
How can I extract the bought license from W10 datafiles? (Procedure I used, works only on W8-1.)
I would then compare license ID with those OEM licenses.

 

What difference it make knowing license ID? each is uniquely signed

nonetheless, all licenses are saved here

Code:

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\ClipSVC\Archive\Apps

but with GUID names, so you need to look through them by modified date

or use cmd:

Code:

findstr /i /m "windowsdvdplayer" *.xml

 

Side note - Had a customer come in the other day asking why his brand new Dell laptop would'nt play DVDs . The look on his face when I said, "windows 10 does not come with a native (built in ) DVD player."

There is no msi update to use it for, last version is AppxBundle that needs OEM license (not available)

 

Ok thanks

 

Strange but the Windows DvD Player setup (windows10.0-kb3081704-x64.msi) is not working anymore for Windows 10_1709 installations in the way they did until 1703

The specified account already exists

all I get as an error...

 

I guess it has to do with WMC removal! or the WMC policy is not present anymore since RS2.

 

It is/was only offered on upgrades from OS's containing WMC.
