zune if FUBAR

i have tried installing/reinstalling zune software on my windows 7 64-bit OS and every time it opens and then locks up my entire computer. i can't click on anything nor does ctrl+alt+del work at all. i have to physically restart the PC. this is obviously a big problem for someone with a windows phone. does anybody know what's going on? i wasn't having any problems for months until about a week ago.

They just did an update recently which is my guess, your problem. Did you reboot when you uninstalled, before you reinstalled?

How long do you wait for your pc to become responsive again? I have the same OS and same problem with Zune, I either wait for the pc to start responding again or ctrl-alt-del and eventually kill the process and start it again, which seems to fix it most times.

tried that. it is freezing everything immediately. i finally got to task manager and shut it down, but i cannot physically do anything in zune at all. any other suggestions?

it might sound weird but have you tried installing the 32 bit version of Zune?

there is no such thing as zune 32-bit. you download the installer and there is only one file that does the installation for any OS.

Run the installer in compatibility mode for XP... thats what my wife had to do on her laptop

Wow, I'm running Win7 64bit with no problems, have you tried doing a system restore back to when it WAS working? In case a system file got corrupt somewhere?

Clear out the Zune cache in your user profile. There's something in there that it's trying to load and locking up your computer. I'm not near my machine now, but it's somewhere in the AppData section.

i would give you a huge hug if you were around. i did a windows 7 search and found the appdata folder. clicked on microsoft and then right clicked on the zune folder and deleted all. i did not uninstall zune while i did this, but i did have it closed. after the appdata cache was deleted, i restarted zune and it works perfectly without any hiccups.
thanks so much!! i have never had problems with software so badly!!

true that, i actually went back to all 4 websites where i posted this question and made a point to paste in my resolution. one of the damnedest things about the internet is when people post problems on message boards, figure them out and then never post the answer.

WP7 RTM ".bat file immediately closes after run" - solution

Hey, so.. this is problem on x64 systems. I slightly modified path to the wpupdate.exe so its working ok now.

Feel free to post.

I had this problem and all i did was removed the 'Windows Phone Engineering Flashing Tool' and then reinstall it. And it works afterwards.

it just a .bat file.. when it is finished it will close.
That said if it finished right when you started it.. there was an error and it didn't update your phone (most likely you didn't run the update tool)
if you don't want it to go away when it finishes... open it in a a command prompt. (cmd)

Plus 1 That.. Did the same thing and Worked Perfectly afterwards

Neither one of those worked for me. Theres problem with path to wpupdate.exe on 64bit OS.. Cmd in bat is trying to reach it in PF x86 folder, wheres no zune installed.

Mango RTM installed on my samsung omnia 7 with no problems at all on X64 Windows 7 home premium just followed instructions

See this;

If the bat file for the 7720 part keeps closing on you, make sure you aren't running the official Zune 4.8. Make sure you have the beta & that the updateWP.exe is the same build #. If they don't match, it'll give an error that they don't & close. You can see the error by start>run>cmd>ok>manually type if the bat's location. The CMD windows won't auto close.

[FIX]Fix for Android applications not installing/starting in Windows 10 Mobile 10536

Since Windows 10 Mobile 10536, it's not possible to both run or install Android applications.
However, with the new tools in the attachment "WindowsBridge.7z", it's now possible to do that again.
Steps:
1 - Extract (using latest WinRAR or 7zip, for example) the contents of the attachment somewhere;
2 - Copy everything from the extracted "Tools" folder to the folder where you currently have the wconnect tool;
3 - In your phone, go to developer settings, enable "Device discovery", and choose "Unpair all" to remove previous pairing info;
4 - In your PC, make sure no process called "wconnectsrv" is running (use Windows Task Manager), and then use the new wconnect tool, and pair the phone again;
4 - In your phone, uninstall current Android applications;
5 - Reinstall them using the new wconnect tool, in the same way you did before;
Troubleshooting:
This method only enables installation with proper registering of Android apps.
If the application opens showing at least one screen, but crashes somewhere else, it's related to the Android Subsystem.
When trying to install an application, adb could return [DELETING_EXISTING_APPLICATIONDATA_STORE_FAILED] .
In that case, restart the phone, and try again
Best regards

And here comes our hero

Thanks! trying now.
Edit: autodiscovery doesn't work..
Another edit: After a few more tries it works, but no keyboard in the app.

Thanks! This worked for me!!
I did get stuck while installing on one app and now i am unable to uninstall or reinstall it. Not sure how to remove it, ill try more tomorow

But doesn't Project Astoria support lollipop apps?
They show INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK error (e.g. Facebook Groups)
Couldn't install apps with API 21 or greater, only for api 19 (kit kat).

You cant since WP has KitKat subsystem and therefore will not run apps with minsdk set to Lollipop...

What about Lumia 640 and xl devices?

Possibly because they all use Google play services which is bit tricky to push... There were some tools that were stripping Google play from apps, but by that functionality goes down as well...

Unfortunately, I seem to be stuck at the connection stage with "Error Code - 6."
Thus far, I've tried:
wconnect.exe usb
wconnect.exe usb PINCODE
wconnect.exe 192.168.X.XXX
wconnect.exe 192.168.X.XXX PINCODE
And it results in the same error each time. I'm wondering if one needs Windows 8.1 64-bit version in order to successfully connect. I'm running 32-bit.
Anybody have any insight on this? Willing to experiment! :good:

[Tutorial] ]Install app offline / sideload app using powershell in windows 8.1 RT on surface RT

It's very sad and unfair that after the extended support ending in Jan 2023, surface RT users are not even allowed to download or install app from windows store anymore, such enormous company as Microsoft is just too rich and huge to not be evil, so i had to start to look for ways to get offline installers and manually install them. I can sucessfully install them and it shows on the windows store as installed. But the app could not run properly, i get a message saying the app needs to be repaird and it just stuck on repairing in the windows store. but i don't know whether it's because the issue of my system, as it's not the original system and I could not sync my license of the windows store in the app undates. As this is usually the reason that the app could not be updated in windows store. So maybe it could work on the original system? Somebody have a try?
You need to open your actual Microsoft Store.
Find the app that you want, get the link of the app.
go to this site:
https://store.rg-adguard.net
put the link in the box and click the tick
Look for and download the ARM or Neutral version of the app that you want, and it must be .appx or .appxbundle filetype.
You will also need to download other appx of the ARM or neutral as well. From the name you would possibly know they are the dependancies to run the actual app, so you will need to manually install them before install the actual app
I will use installing unpacker app for example. Run the powershell as administrater.
Install the dependencies first
just type in
Add-AppxPackage -Path "C:\Users\user1\Desktop\Microsoft.VCLibs.110.00_11.0.51106.1_arm__8wekyb3d8bbwe.Appx"
after this one is done, do the same for the next one
Microsoft.WinJS.1.0_1.0.9200.20789_neutral__8wekyb3d8bbwe.Appx
Add-AppxPackage -Path "C:\Users\user1\Desktop\Microsoft.VCLibs.110.00_11.0.51106.1_arm__8wekyb3d8bbwe.Appx"
After you get everything ready,
just type in
Add-AppxPackage -Path "C:\Users\user1\Desktop\unpacker.appx"
can get more details here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/appx/add-appxpackage?view=windowsserver2022-ps
and voila
if you get error when installing, just read the details and it's possibly you haven't installed the dependencies, which means you will need to use the same code above to install the dependencies first.
-------------------------------------------------------
update:
Thanks to @dj_tech1 , I am pretty much sure that the evil Microsoft must have messed up the license after ceasing the support.
to be able to run the app, we will have to bypass the app license.
I have entered the test mode and also disble the DEP
BCDEdit /set - Windows drivers
The BCDEdit /set command sets a boot entry option value in the Windows boot configuration data store (BCD) for Windows.
learn.microsoft.com
To be able to do this, the secureboot has to be disabled beforehand
I have also acquired the developer liscense thanks to the help of
@jonnyprogamer at #19​
I am not sure whether all the steps above will need to be achieved or not.
Now, we need to remove the signature file of the appx.
First, extract the appx/appxbundle to a working directory, then delete "AppxSignature.p7x".
open a new Powershell window to the working directory, then run the following command:
(I still use unpacker for example)
Add-AppxPackage -Register .\AppxManifest.xml
-Register must point to the path of the AppxManifest.xml
Have a read here: https://titleos.dev/bypassing-microsoft-store-licensing/
And voila!!!!
UPDATE:
with deleting the "AppxSignature.p7x". method, the app stop running after some time. I reinstall it and it can still run for some time.
Anyway, Thanks to @jonnyprogamer @camborita
Go with the method at #29 to test sign the appx and it will not have the issue that I had.

The solution is...Linux.

This is not the solution. After setup the app says that it cannot run because of the error and it has to be repaired. Only few apps have ability to display repair button. After clicking it nothing is getting repair. Also you cannot Update licenses in your Store account settings.
Setup without -Path command causes no "error badge" on apps list.
It worked before January 10'th. Now as above.
Still waiting for working solution...

The appx file is directly from the MS store, so I guess the problem is not really with the file, it might be more possible to do with the app license. if some surface RT still got the synced licences, i guess this might work for them?

Yes. There is an error after clicking sync button.
Surface has reinstalled windows after 10.01.23. After that all updates where installed, including Update 3. There were no differences on apps problems before and after the updates.

No, Windows Updates came from Windows Update. Windows Store updates only MS default apps, preinstalled with system.
First updates to 2016 rollup has to be installed manually.

Before January i was able to install apps and they licenses were syncing. All went down after 10.01.

Ok i tested it on my Windows 8.1 x64 installation and they still gave me a free developer license, and in fact i was able to sideload AccuWeather for Windows 8, and it doesn't show the "X" symbol (error) in the start screen anymore!
The app still won't launch, but i think it's because of missing dependencies.
Here is how to get a developer license:
1) Run PowerShell as Administrator
2) Type Show-WindowsDeveloperLicenseRegistration
3) Sign in with your MS account when asked, and it will give you the license immediately for free
So in theory i successfully installed an Appx (because i don't get the X showing up on the start screen), im gonna try to get the dependencies now, i attached a screenshot.
PS: I got the instructions from here: https://www.howtogeek.com/129535/how-to-sideload-modern-apps-on-windows-8/

I think we need to do some other stuff in order to successfully run the apps, probably the answer is in this document from MS:
