As the title describes, Windows 8 Pro installed from the Volume License ISO does not have the Add Features wizard, and as such it appears to be impossible to install the Windows Media Pack.

I've consulted with Live Chat support who cannot provide an answer to this, they simply said it should be done through "Add Features" which does not exist.

A similar thread was answered by saying install from a Retail disc and upgrade. However this is hardly a solution, paying for an additional Windows license when you already have a volume license.

Can anyone, preferably MSFT, provide a proper answer on how Windows Media Center can be install on Windows 8 Pro which is volume licensed. If it can't be done can some reason or justification be given as to why it can't be done.

Please see previous thread here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w8itproinstall/thread/d63b46e5-c542-4dbe-be41-c46cda440723

Try to run this command:

C:\Windows\System32\WindowsAnytimeUpgradeui.exe

Does it allow you to enter the key and activate the Media Center?

Hello

Darrell,

It seems rather strange to me that Microsoft would stop VL customers from having WMC in a new version of Windows then offer it as a Windows add-on, which VL customers cannot use with the Windows license they are already paying for. Essentially giving (presumably valued) VL customers an inferior version of Windows 8 compared to an equivalent retail edition.

As far as I see it then, the only legitimate way for VL customer to get WMC is to purchase a retail copy of Windows at additional cost, and the acquire the the WMC upgrade.

I admit WMC is hardly an essential Windows component, however it is a very useful and unique one. But this situation also present the additional concern, will Microsoft choose to make any other Windows features available via the Anytime Upgrade Wizard? Meaning there would be yet more features that cannot be installed on VL Windows products.

Is there some official statement then, that Windows Media Center is unavailable to Volume License users?
Or that VL products should now be in some way inferior to their retail counterparts (which has never previously been the case)?

I have to say I've been unable to find one despite looking.

Can we copy over the relevant exe and dlls to repair this feature, if so this could be a simple hotfix really

No you can't. Not sure if doing so would violate any licence but I can say that doing simply results in a message saying "You cannot upgrade this version of Windows"

It seems it would be possible to activate a Windows 8 Pro retail installation with a VL key. Which would then allow the upgrade, but not sure if this is legitimate license wise, and even if it were the only legitimate way to acquire the retail installation media is to buy it which shouldn't be neccessary.

Hello

Individuals who take advantage of the recently announced upgrade offer to Windows 8 Pro can add Windows Media Center for free through the add features option as described in this Windows Blog post. People can also add the Windows 8 Media Center Pack and Windows 8 Pro Pack to OEM and Retail licensed version of Windows 8. These feature packs are not available with volume licensing versions.

I have unproposed this "answer" yet again, since it is not in fact an answer.

The problem presented is how do volume licence customers acquire/install Windows Media Center. 

Aside from saying the upgrade pack cannot be used, no answer has been supplied.

I would post this to the TechNet priority support forums, except that there don't appear to be any for Windows 8.
The rollout and support of this supposedly flagship operating system is farcical. 

Can someone from Microsoft please supply answers to the questions asked in this thread.

Why have MS crippled the VL versions? It appears you can install a non-pro MSDN subscription version of Windows 8 and add the WMC pack but not the Pro version. This makes no sense so is presumably a bug/fault.

Can MS provide a download/fix or plausible answer (rather than disclaimer) as to why they have done this to their fee paying subscriber community ?

You can try the retail ISO and use the KMS keys from here:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj612867.aspx

and now try to install Media Center.

Nothing new, just adding my weight:

Hi Philip,

We have not yet published a offical KB to explain this. As noted in the Windows 8 editions blog (http://blogs.windows.com/windows/b/bloggingwindows/archive/2012/04/16/announcing-the-windows-8-editions.aspx) post on the Building Windows 8 blog site, there are 3 different versions of Windows 8

Windows 8
Windows 8 Pro
Windows RT

Media Center extensions are not included in any version of Windows 8. Furthermore, Media Center cannot be installed on volume licensed media installations of Windows 8, or Windows RT.

Users wanting Media Center extensions for Windows 8 or Windows 8 Pro should acquire and install the Windows 8 Media Center Pack, or the Windows 8 Pro Pack.

From October 26th until January 31, 2013, the Windows 8 Media Center Pack is available for free via the URL http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/feature-packs

Windows 8 Edition support is further clarified in the Building Windows 8 blog post "Making Windows Media Center available in Windows 8" (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/b8/archive/2012/05/03/making-windows-media-center-available-in-windows-8.aspx) which goes on to say.

To workaround this, reinstall the windows with a Retail Media (or install a new fresh Retail Media); install the media center feature and then activate the Media Center using the media center key 

Thanks. 

Geez, you do make life complicated!

Anyhow, I have a VL Windows 8 Pro installation which on my reading should entitle me to Media Center - so why can't I get it?

I'm a Microsoft Silver ISV partner and thus have software provided for internal use rights.  We get both retail and VL keys as part of that.  In the past I didn't fuss too much about which licence type was used as we only use a small handful of what we're allocated anyway.  However there's a bit of a crossroads here for me...

The list of 3 editions of Windows 8 is incomplete - there's also the Enterprise SKU which has many features not available in Pro such as Direct Access (the one I want!) plus WindowsToGo, etc.

There's no retail Ultimate SKU anymore and whilst I appreciate the simplification of the edition line-up, the fact that the Enterprise SKU is only available via VL means the following

1. I have to pick between Media Centre (which I use to drive my Xbox) and Direct Access - that's an annoying choice

2. If we have clients purchase Windows 8 laptops at retail, which is common, we can't get them upgraded to an Enterprise edition (or "Ultimate") and get them using Direct Access.  They won't want to know about Media Centre, but having them discard the OEM licence of Windows that came with their laptop to get a VL licence is hard to explain and just seems wrong on some level.

The position Microsoft has on this has been clear for many months if you've been following the appropriate blogs.  The rationale however has never been explained :( 

I'd love to see the restriction on Media Centre on VL editions removed too - then I can have my cake and eat it too :)

The other kicker for me, which I had forgotten about as I won't be upgrading until sometime over Xmas, is that because I used Ultimate Retail on my PC, I can't upgrade to Win 8 Enterprise since that's VL only.

An "Ultimate" retail edition would've been nice and, from MS' point of view, MS would've made a fair chunk of money from enthusiasts who would pay more just to have "all the features" even if most won't be used.

Surprisingly enough this is possible. The broad strokes are:

Step 1 Downgrade from Windows 7 Ultimate to Windows 7 Professional

Step 2 Upgrade from Windows 7 Professional to Windows 8 Enterprise

Step 3 Activating Windows 8 Enterprise

Step 4 Cleanup Windows 8 Setup Files

Thank you very much for this as it is the most clear answer anyone from MSFT have yet provided.

Hi Aaron,

However I'm still a little unclear on something here.

Are you saying that from a licensing point of view, is it legitimate to add Windows Media Center to Windows 8 Pro VL, but it can't be done due to software limitations and therefore we should work round it by installing from retail media?

If this is the case that's a somewhat acceptable answer from a licensing point of view, and something that's practical to do except for the question of where do you suggest I get retail Windows 8 Pro media from without buying Windows 8 Pro at retail?

I look forward to your response.

Hi Philip_W,

I am sorry to make you confused. Based on partner and customer's feedback, they have concerns over the costs associated with codec licensing for traditional media playback. Given the changing landscape, the cost of decoder licensing, and the importance of a straight forward edition plan, then make it in "Add features". This is no software limitation but licensing limitations. 

Thanks. 

So why are there two editions of windows with the same name "Windows 8 Pro" that have different limitations on licensing?  STOP CONFUSING YOUR CUSTOMERS.  Call one Windows 8 Pro, then call the other Windows 8 Something-Else.  Don't leave two different versions with the same name - what a load of poo!

So can I run an "upgrade" of a windows 8 pro retail copy over my VL edition?  Or will it not allow me to do that?  I don't want to unravel the time space continuum or anything - just get media center without having to reinstall my 87 apps.

Q.  "So can I run an "upgrade" of a windows 8 pro retail copy over my VL edition?"

A.  No.

Q.  "So can I run an "upgrade" of a windows 8 pro retail copy over my VL edition?"

A.&nbs

Aaron, this makes no sense.

Our company pays tens of thousands of dollars each and every year for Software assurance benefits including upgrade rights. With Windows 7 enterprise, we had media center edition. Now we cannot install media center on our VL editions of Windows 8 Pro or Enterprise, which is a completely legitimate use?

As a test, I purchased a retail edition of 8 Pro and was not able to activate it using our VL product key.

This is absolutely ridiculous and makes no sense.

I have been to our Software Assurance downloads site thinking that the Media Center package may be available for SA customers as a seperate VL download...no luck. The only way I see that the Media Center add on can be added is through the Add features option, which is not available in the VL edition of 8 Pro or Enterprise. 

So even if I am purchasing new machines with Pro on them, we usually wipe and reinstall them as enterprise...which means that we lose the ability to add media center. 

What is the deal? This needs to be fixed.

I'm attempting to work through this situation with a tech support guy. We've spent ~2 hours so far and while he says that he sees documentation saying "VL installs are incompatible w/ MCE", he's not giving up! :-)

Seems main problems are:

1) Some stupid incompatibility issue, as we're all aware
2) Microsoft support personnel for VL customers are on the enterprise side of things and MCE is a consumer product, so these support personnel are not properly trained in issues with this product. The guy I'm working with said this is his first issue concerning MCE.
3) VL product keys come from the enterprise side of things while MCE product keys come from the consumer side of things. This means my support guy needs to interface with a different department/division to get new keys generated to test with. This means instead of it being a 30-second process, it's a 10-15 minute process.

So far, he's had me try ~5 different keys with no luck. He's very confused why we can't get this working. But like I said, he's not giving up.

---

Background for my situation:

I'm installing Windows 8 Pro from an MSDN Premium subscription (where MSDN was purchased via a VL). My ISO/Keys are for what appear to be the same as a Retail MSDN subsciption. This means I do get the "Add Features" part of Windows 8.

I need MCE installed and working for test environments to reproduce and debug issues for our custom-developed software when running on Window 8 with MCE installed. This is a real issue that needs a real solution.

I was able to install Windows 8 Pro and activate. Additionally, I was able to install MCE with a product key and it works perfectly (even with a TV Tuner!). The only problem is that the "next" reboot after everything being "happy", I began getting activation issues (Error code 0xC004C4AA).

At this point, while my support guy investigates further, he's had me do a slmgr /rearm to keep the nag screens away for 30 days. His goals are to initially get this single environment working properly and then to provide a set of instructions to allow us to repeat in the future.

Hello,

I'm not sure if a solution has been posted above, but I think I figured it out...

I was having the same problem with Windows Pro where I couldn't find the "add features" and there was no option to add features under "System" or "Control Panel" either.

So I search for "Windows Media Center", opened it, put in a DVD and my DVD play in Windows Media Player...I don't think we need to input a code to use the full Media Center. Hope it works for you all!

However, if I recall the "Building Windows 8" blog post about Media Center correctly, the DVD codecs are also not a part of Windows 8 anymore.  They now come with the Media Center add-on.

I work for a college and we just paid big bucks for our volume licensing again.  We were scheduled to start planning for summer desktop upgrades/deployments this week.  After looking at the media options, upgrading our campus to Windows 8 is not a viable option.  After getting feedback from several other colleges, I am not alone in making this decision.  Our classrooms and some business departments use media as a core extension for education.  In fact, many colleges and businesses seem to be analyzing the viability of maintaining Microsoft as a desktop solution because we fear what will be removed or changed next.  The fact is that Microsoft has a Media Center available but not for Volume License Customers.  Bad timing for us to find out the option is not available even though there is a purchase option for all other customers.  Because of the Metro UI addition, most colleges and businesses are required to train staff on the new interface and Microsoft has abandoned their volume licensing customers with no options.   So why should we not abandon Microsoft and turn to a different desktop environment?  If there is no media center for our campus, we will consider converting to a different stable desktop environment for all of our classroom and student computing needs.

Just spent the last 3 hours trying to follow instructions on getting MC installed on an 8.1 Pro install with volume licensing.

Utterly nothing to suggest that the version I'm running is crippled and actually contains a stripped out functionality from the retail version. I'm just hoping the client I work for doesn't require part of this functionality at any point as they're going to need to run the VLK version to enable things like AppLocker etc.

This has been one of the most frustrating and ultimately pathetic experiences I've had with a Microsoft product. I'm going straight back to Windows 7 and hopefully by the time 8/8.1 becomes forced on us through 7 going end of life - I'll have found a new line of work.

I would like to pile on here and say "ditto" to all of the above. you have a licensed product and they don't even support the MSFT version of a DVD player. Nah, no one EVER has to play a older technology in corporate America due to training or presentation (A funny clip of a movie before a ppt)? Nah.

But, I'd like to add a warning to MSFT senior management.  I know you want to force everyone to use YOUR cloud just like apple did to theirs.  Wont' work.  Some of us refuse to sign onto a web site and let you track all of our moves... some distrust the cloud (Target anyone?) etc etc.  All good points, now for the out of the park.  The Harvard Business Review some years ago did a study on long term profitability of a company (you have to have a profit to stay in business).  The most highly correlated factor: Customer Sat.  Sorry, but I don't see customer sat in all of these entries. 

IF you made your product easier to use and NOT have to have a IT support person to move from a small workgroup to a server configuration (and PS, what in the heck to you get from a workgroup?  File Replication, Remote access to outlook files as one does via exchange?  Really, every computer is in a workgoup any more, so there is ZERO value add in a workgroup on a MSFDT platform, however there is great value, even with a couple of users, in an Exchange/Windows Server Platform -- so why so you make it so damned hard to implement one... Difficult for one to implement in an SMB environment (so lets just kill SBS) but growth from small business is where your growth is... just like IBM did before you, MSFT only appears to be listening to Fortune 500 it execs, but I really digressed)  This is just one more pain in the butt to use MSFT in the small environment.  So what is the rational business decision?  Yes one can pick MSFT but with Zero value add in the workgroup, why not them other guys (who may be apple, or android or even some Linux platforms)

SO you want to continue to mil the cash cow, listen to your forums.

One more note on the STORE.  Lets say you do pick a competitive product in the windows store.  Have them been verified they don't contain malware like MSFT products?  I believe the answer here is "NO"  So this adds another layer of complexity and security risk on the corporate problem of "How do I play a DVD on my laptop"  I am sure none of you has ever played a movie on your laptop flying for business?

So, MSFT management, let me paraphrase the posts above:  "WHY don't you support our business needs" 

And remember, people buy to have their needs met.....  (IBM Planned Sales Call)

If you don't meet small business needs, someone will... and that too is fraught with risk.

(For example of how to make computers easy to use in SMB I reference SBS, the Systems Management Interface tool in IBM Unix, or best of all, the AS/400.... something even Ellison couldn't kill, though he tried.

Can anyone from MS experts, let's back to square one:

Because:
the real question is : the "add features" is missing in VL installation.

Then therefore:
Users are not allowed to add features for existing computers installed the windows 8.1 VL, by anyway provided this / or some where else threats discussed. for example, media center is one of it.

However, whatever MS claims on the license/terms, let's put media center aside.
the argument here is : how can we "add features" by using the Windows 8.1 Pro VL?

the question simple is that.

thanks, and please don't go anywhere, stick to it would be much appreciated.

Media Center extensions are not included in any version of Windows 8. Furthermore, Media Center cannot be installed on volume licensed media installations of Windows 8, or Windows RT.

This doesn't explain why Microsoft decided that VL users are not allowed to use WMC which in my opinion is really short sighted.

I'm really annoyed this is not possible and I would like to understand what is the thinking about it. From where I'm standing it looks like MS decided that business users do not need WMC and therefore shouldn't get the option to install it. I would like to be able to take that decision myself thank you very much! We have a VL agreement and it seems really stupid to me that we would have to buy a retail version for any user in our organization that requires or wants WMC. This is a bizarre workaround.

Not to change the subject but MS is claiming "victory of the living room" with their consoles.  There is no need for WMC from their standpoint.  They will let others deal with it from now on.   There is no WMC Extendar app for Xbox one but you can download Plex player ?  That should tell you something.
