Ok, so on my previous posting I talked about getting Windows Media Connect working on my Windows Media Center PC (DVR), but I also wanted to get the same software running on my desktop that I had been using as a media dump for the last 2 years…
Well, I did a simple google search, “Windows Media Connect” and wham, instantly found the Microsoft page… This was too easy… I go to the page, and what? Yeh, it was too easy… “This package is no longer availalbe for download, instead, upgrade to Windows Media Player 11 and share from there!”, well, that’s all fine and dandy, and I do have WMP11 on all of my computers… But I like this utility, and its UI is perfect… And I don’t want WMP running ALL the time just becuase I want to share some files…
So I search around, and around, and around, and FINALLY find an install package for WMC2 for WXP, I download it as fast as I can and go to install it… It bogs, it dies, the install just dies! I go to the directory and look, and it did create several files, but the important ones are 0byte…
So I look and find an article on the XBox360 site talking about the method of manual install for WMC! YEY!… So I follow the instructions and FINALLY get it installed… And it works flawlessly…
I wrote up a small batch file to do the install process, and I have the files… All of which will be published to UGN Security within a few days… (what can I say, I have a lot to write up, and it’ll be a busy weekend…)
