Yes. I haven't changed anything. I installed a fresh copy of Windows 8.1 WMC this morning, installed the drivers for my tv tuner, did a windows update, and configured WMC. Everything went perfect. Once I had Live TV working, I installed XBMC and then ServerWMC.

Are you able to go back to just windows 8 or windows 7? (Not sure if you use this pc for anything else, if not go with that works) Its worth it.

I'll go back to Windows 8. Hopefully once the official release of Windows 8.1 comes out there will be better all around support for it. It looks like right now Windows 8.1 breaks as many things as it fixes.

Hold up on that. I just got home, saw your message, and tried to install on my windows 8 test machine, it doesn't work for me either. Sorry about that. Give me some more time on it, but windows 8.1 is not the problem. Have I mentioned that I hate wix installers?

From the looks of things it is looking for versions 6.1.0.0 and Windows 8.1 has versions 6.3.0.0. Plus it doesn't appear the files are installing to the same locations.

Anything I can do to help get this running on Windows 8/8.1 let me know.

Actually you do a test for me right now, that would be a big help. If you don't mind getting your hands dirty editing xml files, try this:

1) find the install folder of serverwmc (in program files)
2) make a copy of the file 'serverwmc.exe.config' for backup
3) open 'serverwmc.exe.config' with notepad, notepad will need to be running as admin to make changes to the file.
4) in the assembly redirects area of the file, change all the '6.2.0.0' that you find to '6.3.0.0'.
5) save the file
6) run serverwmc,


if it starts cool - I know how to change the installer, if it doesn't send me the error message.

ALSO, I think if install files get messed with, the installer doesn't uninstall cleanly when that time comes. So before you uninstall, restore the backed up config file, and delete the edited one.

Let me know.

Okay I opened ServerWMC.exe.config, but what you are saying to change isn't there.

Here is the contents:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true">
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.0"/>
</startup>
</configuration>

That's interesting, that mean the installer defaulted to the windows 7 config. Replace it with this config file:

I already edited it. So just put it into the install directory and run.

Good, but before you do that...

Believe it or not, I can't find the os version on windows 8.1 on the internet. I know sounds crazy, but there you are. So in the server go to the debug tab, open the log file and tell me what it says on the os version, for instance in windows 7 it says:

2013/09/13 12:28:20.865 OS Version: 6.1.7601.65536

it is at the top of the file. Thanks.
