I ended up trashing OneCare because major issues with WMDC.
Even when it wall all excluded from the firewall it still wouldn't work.

Hmmm, i've just been pointed at this post, also detailing how to get Zune running on Vista. If only i'd found it last night I might have got to bed before 1am :D

It's a similar process, but doing MSI edits manually rather than using my patcher.

I too used Orca and made the same changes, but i'd like to point out I was not aware of this article before now. :)

Do a manual install, it hapened to me too. Go to devise manager an update the drivers. choose the location where Zune installed and it will find the drivers.

Thanks Paul for the patch.

Thanks for the great insructions. BTW - I also had to enable the "Run program as administrator" option in the compatibility property sheet to get it to work on Vista RTM.

Paul,

Just a quick question...

Does the FM radio work well in the UK I'm not expecting it to show stations names, but does it tune in OK?

Thanks,

Richard

Nice work Paul. I really want to see a zune in real life, see how it stacks up against the competition.

I see, you've made the Engadget front page aswell

It works fine, with station names too... just switch the Radio to 'Europe' in settings :)

Dang. Didn't work for me. Maybe because I am running RC1? On install = rollback.
