I have used Musecast for many years and have the paid version. It has always worked great, and I absolutely love it. The only issue I ever really had was the server would not start sometimes even if I tried to manually start it. This didn't really happen all that often, but a clean install always seemed to solve the problem. I don't remember if that is the reason for this particular issue or if I was trying to update to the latest version. It was months ago , but nomatte3r what I try I cannot get Musecast to install in my pc. I have made sure i have deleted all old files including temp files and have tried installing older versions, but I always get some error that the instillation was interrupted.

This is the current message I am getting :


Error 1001. An Exception occurred during the Commit phase of the installation. This exception will be ignored and installation will continue. However, the application might not function correctly after installation is complete. --> Could not load file or assembly 'System.Core, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' o...

When I hit "Ok", the installation stops and I get a new message that says:

The3 installation was interrupted before Muzecast Music Streaming Server could be installed. You need to restart the installer to try again.


I don't know what else to try, but I really would love to have this program working again.

Please help!

This should be resolved. Happy day!

Error 1001 can be a few things, in my experience it's been because a damaged previous install has been modified in a weird way.

For example, muzecast is trying to untinstall the old version, but because something is unusual about it, it is failing. This could be due to malware or a vrius, so you may want to do a decent scan of your PC.

Which OS are you using?

Did you 'uninstall' the previous version, or did you just delete the files? Have you tried installing to a fresh folder?

Ok try uninstalling all instances so you know its 'gone'

Whats your network and pc setup look like?

I run my muzecast on a windows server vm. Do you have just your own win10 box? Do you have full admin rights etc?

Are you installing latest version?

Hmmm if the service still exists i think its worth explring the idea that the uninstalls have failed, and that could be blocking the reinstall.

You could try removing the services manually, i had a very very quick google and it seems straightforward, but done at your own risk. If you can't remove perhaps even a rename might work?

I was able to remove the service by opening regedit and have run Ccleaner which found and removed a lot of other lingering files. I can't find any other traces of any previous installs and am still getting the same error when I try and install. :(

So it looked like there were 2 ways I could remove it from services. One was through the command prompt and the other was through regedit. The command promt would not work as it couldn't find it. I was able to delete it by opening regedit, but it did still show up in services even if I hit refresh. If I restart the computer it is then gone from services.msc. But when I try and install again I get the same error message and it is put back in services. I removed it again, restarted and tried installing to a different folder and same thing. If I click on the Muzecast Server Loader and hit start I get an error message stating it cannot start it because it cannot find the file specified.
