Win 8.1 with WMC 8.8.2 and Xbox 360 Extenders
Posted: Thu Apr 11, 2019 6:07 pm
Hi All--
I figured I'd make this a dedicated post. Quick history, I've had W7 WMC machine working for a number years and I've moved to consolidating everything on to an ESXi host. I may make a dedicated post on my trials/tribulations on that, but I was able to get my InfiniTV6 PCIe succcessfully working under that environment.
To the point of this post - has anyone used Win8.1 Pro with WMC 8.8.2 and successfully connected to their Xbox360 extenders? I was able to install WMC 8.8.2 w/out issue with admin rights and things went smoothly (WMC working normally from the console perspective). When I go to configure my 360 extenders, everything get's detected but when it gets to the last checkbox, the 360 never fully connects. I'm getting the following exception in my app log:
"Windows Search Service failed to create a default configuration for new user 'W81Test\Mcx1-W81TEST' in response to user profile creation. Error code 0x80070005. Access is denied."
So obviously there's a rights issue somewhere - has anyone encountered this? I can confirm that all of this works (extender connection/creation) just fine under W7 Ultimate on the exact same network, etc. So the issue appears to be with the installation of WMC8.8.2 and related quirks. I am having some virtualization issues with W7 otherwise I would just use that as you're probably thinking why mess with 8.1 at all.
Any thoughts on this issue are most appreciated!
