2022 trial asking for Windows Media Pack

Post by Granpaw Broon »

Corel trial won't run unless "Windows Media Pack" is installed but that is only for 10 Pro N, which I had never heard of. I have Windows 10 Pro version 21H2 with Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.4170.0 as Experience. So I'm a bit confused as to why. I already have VS 10.5, 2018 and 2021 installed and working fine so why is it asking for this to run?

Hi asik1, when I first ran VS2022 trial after install it came up with a window saying I needed to download the media pack. I then exited, rebooted and it runs now. Not all features are enabled in the trial though as I wanted to try out the 5.1 PCM export but it wouldn't work. I can't understand why Corel will not bring back DD5.1 now it's no longer charged for. VideoReDo now has added it to their program because the restrictions were lifted. I still use VS2018 because them dropping this feature.
