Cannot install with admin privilages

[winstonyue]

Installation failed. You need to right click "Install_MPCVR_64.cmd" and choose "run as admin".

I did run as admin :( On windows 11, tried safe mode as well

Try opening an admin command prompt (https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/how-to-open-a-windows-11-command-prompt-as-administrator/)

To open Windows 11 Command Prompt with Administrator privileges, you need to open the Command Prompt in a certain way.

First, click the Start Menu and type cmd into the search field. Then, when the 'Command Prompt' search result is shown, right-click on it and select Run as adminsitrator, as shown below.

In that prompt type in the following

regsvr32 "[path to MpcVideoRenderer64.ax]"

For me it'd be something like

regsvr32 "C:\Users\emoose\downloads\VideoRenderer-rtx\MpcVideoRenderer64.ax"

Hopefully that should say successful, then you can do the same with MpcVideoRenderer.ax to install the 32-bit version.

If you move/delete the .ax file after this it'll stop it working, and you'll have to re-register it again, so maybe copy the .ax files somewhere you want to install it to first.

I figured it out, I downloaded the source code zip, the file from the zip first in the list worked as normal. My mistake!
