Fix Video Sync Failed to apply

[marknoble]

When running Fix Video Sync to try to resolve Error C00D11CD, I see the following error:

Failed to apply 'Fix Video Sync'
Unable to replace 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\WMVCORE.dll'.
Verify that Zune and Windows Media Player are not running
and try again.

I verified that neither Zune nor Windows Media Player were running. That did not resolve the issue.

Also tried looking for WMVCORE with Process Explorer, but it returned 0 matching items.

Finally, I renamed WMVCORE.dll and tried the Fix Video Sync option again, but the Zune Modding Helper closed.

This was with...

Edition: Windows 10 Pro
Version: 221-42
OS build: 19045.2965

Howdy, sorry you're having issues.

If nothing is using the DLL and Codix's script works (as you indicated on Discord), there may be a permissions issue in ZMH. To clarify, this is a problem with ZMH, not anything you've done. ZMH currently runs as administrator, while IIRC Codix's script runs as TrustedInstaller, which allows it to do a lot more. I'll look into doing the same for ZMH.

The Mod Helper is really great. Thanks for putting this together. I have the same issue on Windows 11 unfortunately/

Howdy @marknoble @tbowman279! The latest release, 2024.5.18.0 Alpha, includes a complete rewrite of this mod. Would you mind giving it a try now?
