i'm not talking about a network bridge, i'm talking about merging networks, done from the root of the network and sharing center (in win7). remember manage network connections.............. they removed that in win8!

and i see u use teamviewer as well! nice choice!

Oh! Sorry about that.

They removed it? I am sure they have to have a way to edit it.

About to install 8 in vmware but it wants a key. I only need a test of it and dont want to use my key. The default Windows 8 setup wont let you skip the keycode during install like you could Windows 7. I found a trick to where I can skip the the like 7 in the setup. Just have to add a file to the ISO. Once I get that done I can get to testing

there was a registry edit i found, but it applied to the CP, so..............

but what i'm trying to do is merge a physical network interface with a virtual network interface.

btw, windows store still dosen't work, even after the latest tip.

and what file did u add 2 the win8 iso? must know!

OK let me get 8 going in vmware and replicate this bug. Anything I can replicate I can fix.

I will do each repair 1 at a time till the store breaks. Then I know where to start looking. I will post back either tonight or tomorrow with my findings and hopefully a fix

Ok good news on this so far. After running all my repairs when I tried to install an app from the app store I got the same error (App store still opened for me)

So I did a restore registry from my registry backup program and then the app store installed in the apps with no problems.

So I have now traced it to the registry. I will keep digging in, now to see if I can find which repair is triggering it, and what in the registry is doing it.

I have traced it down to the reg permissions repair doing it.

Trying to find what keys it needs now

shane, my computer had so many errors (most NOT due to ur tools) that I was forced to do a complete reinstall of win8. looks like i'll be up extremely late (again)!

btw, I tried that tool u just linked me to time and time again, mostly with no luck whatsoever.

Shane · « **Reply #36 on:** January 17, 2013, 08:36:21 pm »

As I have been digging into the app store problems it is AMAZING how fragile it is. One simple permission setting will break it.

I think I may need to put an update out asap that disables the reg permissions repair on Win 8 till I can find what keys it is complaining about.

The funny thing is even when I add everyone full rights to every key (It is something under hkey local machine from my tests) it doesn't matter. It seems that Microsoft sees any permissions change at all to certain keys it wont install apps. It must be some sort of DRM they are using. Problem is NO ONE knows which keys. Using process mon from sysinternals the app store hits over 10,000 reg keys!!!

So it truly isnt a permissions denied error, it is more a "oh someone change a permissions, they must be trying to install apps they didn't buy" type thing, that or bad programming on their part.

or what u could do, to save urself a bunch of work, is just temporarily re-upload the current AIO repair tool as a zip file with a readme for win8 users.

Shane · « **Reply #38 on:** January 17, 2013, 08:48:04 pm »

If I could just trace what reg keys it is looking at I could put a command to remove any changes to the permissions. But no one knows yet what keys it is hitting. And when I Google errors with the app store it is shocking the amount of people having trouble.

Right now I traced it to the reg permissions and to keys under the hkey local machine section. I cant have my repair tool breaking things, which in a way it isn't as there is full access with the permissions, it is the DRM MS is doing that doesn't like permission changes. Only option till I find those reg keys is to block the reg permissions repair on Windows 8 only.

I am trying my hardest to trace what keys it is looking at. I wont give up just yet

Until I find the reg keys the app store doesnt like touched I put out v1.9.6 with the reg permissions disabled for Windows 8
