Photo Story 3 do not install or work on the final version of Windows 8

I received an email from a family member who said...

"I have a question of photo story. Last night, I installed Windows 8 preview version on Win 7 64-bit PCs who had installed photo story to test if it would work on 8 to win. It worked with a mouse problem, that I got with the program under Win 7. So, today, I bought a copy of win 8 and installed on the PC even after reinstalling Win 7 and Photo Reportage on the PC. This time I get the message this Photo story is not compatible with Windows 8. What gives. It works on preview but not the final version. Am I missing something? Can I make it work? »

My personal experience with 12 apps I've tried so far Photo Story 3 is the only one who is not to install or work on the 9200 Build Windows 8 enterprise.
We've been through the same thing when Windows 7 is released. Photo Story 3 worked on the preliminary but abruptly stopped when the final version has been published. He solved and works fine on Windows 7.

I managed to install Photo Story 3 on Windows 8 Enterprise x 64 and Windows Enterprise 8.1 Preview x 64.  I also discovered exactly what it breaks, and I guess that's what beat Photo Story 3 for people on Windows 7: LegitCheckControl.dll

If you download from the Microsoft Web site through the alternative method the photo story 3 application will install and work fine.  If however you choose to install the ActiveX Windows Genuine Advantage version, it installs the LegitCheckControl.dll, some registry settings and will result in the following errors.

Setup error:

"Photo Story 3 for Windows cannot be installed on this version of Windows. Check the system requirements for photo story 3 for Windows before attempting to install the program".

Error launching application:

"Photo Story 3 for Windows cannot run this version of Windows.  Check the requirements for photo story 3 for Windows before trying to execute it."

While the problem is happening, you can install Photo Story 3 on systems that are affected by the WGA ActiveX components through the command line with the following example:

MsiExec.exe /i Pstory.msi/passive SKIPOSCHECK = 1 NOLEGITCHECK = 1

To solve two problems:

As the installation of the ActiveX program does not include an uninstall program, the best solution is to rename the WGA DLL via PowerShell or command line as an administrator for that photo story may find it is no longer, and so you can enable it again in the future without problem.

 

Windows x 86:

PS: "Rename-Item $env:windir\System32\LegitCheckControl.DLL LegitCheckControl.Disabled.DLL.

CMD: "rename %windir%\System32\LegitCheckControl.DLL LegitCheckControl.Disabled.DLL.

Windows x 64:

PS: "Rename-Item $env:windir\SysWOW64\LegitCheckControl.DLL LegitCheckControl.Disabled.DLL.

CMD: 'rename %windir%\SysWOW64\LegitCheckControl.DLL LegitCheckControl.Disabled.DLL.

    Dear Sirs.

    I installed DW CS4 on Windows 10 Preview Edition and it worked fine. After the upgrade to the final version of Windows 10 I'm no more able to start DW. I guess it's a problem with licensing. I just tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but is not changes anything.

    Thank you for your help... Michael

    In prompt, type (make sure that space is there between sfc and /)

  • Why wil lfirefox does not allow netflix work on the latest version of silverlight

    Looks like fire fox wants older version 5. ? 6 new vs. Silverlight
    Netflix works if I look on msn
    recent problem - last 4 days
    Firefox /netflix.com/watch instantly / get a window asking me to silverlite up date of the last version already installed / work on msn, but not google

    Could clarify you something on your question: you have posted using a Windows machine, but your question is in the Firefox OS category for new mobile phones based on the Firefox OS. I think that your question is probably on the Firefox desktop.

    6 Silverlight works on other sites, just not Netflix, or it doesn't work in Firefox at all?

    been trying to install the most recent update of the adobe reader, but it will not be installed at gets all the up to 7% then gpes far so I tried to uninstall, but it will not uninstall need help! I use google chrome on my macbook pro

    Google Chrome (even on a Mac) has its own exclusive construction of Flash Player ("PepperFlash"). It was modified by Google, incorporated by Google and maintained by Google. Adobe is working with Google for updates and patches, but it is "their baby" once it happens in the browser. It cannot be updated through this site. It updates ONLY by updating Chrome.

    There are instructions to perform a "clean installation" (How to perform a "clean installation" of Flash Player in Mac OS X) but that doesn't apply to the Flash Player for Safari and Firefox plugin.

    You can try this:

    Go to: [username] / Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome ([username] / library is accessible by pressing the "Option" when you click on 'Go' in the Finder menu)

    Inside the Chrome folder is a folder named "PepperFlash".

    Trash and empty the trash.

  • CP 4 synthesis speech wll not install or work

    Greetings:
    I decided to do a trial of Captivate 4 and build a demo to display the Manager to convince him to buy it for me.

    Unfortunately, the speech does NOT install when I followed the links and the direcitons, I get a message that there no voices and download. I did it four times now.

    I saw a post here saying "go to the folder where it is installed and click the EXEs.." this folder is which? I don't see an obvious match.

    If I can't get the text to speech to work, my manager will never jump for the bucks. Thanks, QuizQueen

  • OfficeJet J4580 not install correctly regardless of the method

    Long story short, I had to uninstall and reinstall evrything and like last time, it will not install correctly.

    The manual says to unplug the unit before installing the soiftware I did but it ended up installing without ever making me plg inside. I Reboot and "Document Manager" appears and I install other software from here - all except the picture one thing. But things do not work quite as it should. Doctor Scan and printing HP goes to its process and tells me "the comprehensive software solution for this product has not been installed" and then letting his work - install, I get an error without number, or something else to say simply: 'Download failed'. "." And 'Retry' will not work.

    For a HP technician on a Board here I try the following:

    Follow the steps below to update the software to the latest version.

    First step: clear temp directory

    1. tap folder in the race or search programs and files of field

    2 Select all the files in this folder, and then press the delete key to remove. If you receive a message that the file is in use, you will need to ignore this file (s).

    3. proceed to step 2 below

    Second step: downloaded and extracted to your system:

    1 download the drivers and full software features

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=MP-79309-1&cc=us&DLC=en&LC=en&...

    2. once the download is complete, double-click the file to extract the software.

    3. when the installation window opens, press the Cancel button to stop the installation

    4. tap folder in the race or search programs and files of field

    5. Locate and open the folder starting with 7z (example: 7zS2356)

    6. right click on the folder and select copy

    7. close this window and all open windows, and then in the Middle the desktop right click your mouse and select Paste. This will move the 7z folder on your desktop.

    8 open the 7z, that you just copied on your desktop

    9 open the Util folder

    10 open the CCC folder

    11 start the uninstall_L4

    12. once the uninstall is complete, restart the computer

    13. run disk cleanup from the tools Accessories\ system under all programs folder

    14. download and install the latest version of Adobe flash player

    15 open the 7z folder and then double-click the Setup.exe file that will be towards the bottom of the open window. Follow the instructions on the screen to reinstall your printer.

    The problem is not # 12: when uninstalling filled to restart the computer

    No uninstall never happens.

    In any case then by downloading the installer to complete the installation of the window program tells me to plug in my cable. Well guess what. It is plugged in, but somehow, he thinks that it is not (although any other tried suggests that another part of the HP "brain" knows it's as the other things would have happened if it is not plugged in)

    In any case I unplpug and reconnect, I reboot etc etc he still thinks that he's not pliugged in - even if step to ignore the "plug the cable into the part is taken.

    Back doctor's Scan and the same thing happens mentoned above.

    On my 1st installtion, way at the time where this printer gave me similar headaches, but many things were that it is impossible for me to rmember what finally worked.

    Oh yes my OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

    Thank you

    I solved my problem on my own. Here's how:

    The method you mentioned has already been tried.

    The problem was, I think, to uninstall the HP OfficeJet J4580 and its software a lot, but a lot of files and folders remain and are scattered everywhere and not just in the Program Files folder. This is also true for the registry entries.

    So I was all uninstall again and this time made a search for everything under HP and Hewlett-Packard and remove all. After which I also used CCleaner to enter the remaining things in the windows registry - all carefully in all cases to ensure that I have do not uninstall, delete, or remove things dealing with my HP webcam.

    Doing so and after a few reboots installation again and this time things developed accordingly.

    I must say thatat first, it did not seem as if I had managed since the installtion software always kept thinking my HP wasn't pluggen in and connected. but he has been wrong on reboot everything has worked (except that I had to return to the installtion to install other software associated with it.

    Thanks for your help

    Note that you can work with two screens and drag and drop the image to display on the other window.

    I think you mean working temporarily with the window enlarged image without displaying all the tools and panels.
