Installing MC30 and Questions
JimH:
I'm guessing you could install the 64-bit version of MC on your laptop without problems.
Did you try using a different browser to download?
I would try the 64-bit version again on the machine where you were having trouble. You know now that the 32 bit version will work. Is there anything unusual about that machine?
pepar:
Check drive for errors?

I haven't tried to install anything on the laptop. Being cautious I didn't want MC30 being on it first and complicating the licensing and server/client stuff later on. I want this desktop to be the MC "top dog" as if the laptop did not exist. Do you want me to do it anyway? If so, send me the link I should use on the laptop to download it.
I forgot to use another browser to download before so I went back and did that for the x64 package (so instead of Firefox I used Edge). The x32 package that successfully ran was downloaded on Firefox. Installed the Edge x64 download but it did not run. I uninstalled.
Next I tried installing a "not an upgrade" package downloaded from JRiver main page. It did not run. Why did I try that? I was trying to keep the discussion from getting over-complicated but I guess I should spell out everything ad nauseum. :-[ Last night I realized I made a mistake when I installed MC26 two-yrs back. I did a custom location install and meant to install to C:\Programs\Media Center 26. Instead it installed the MC files into the root of Programs. So there is no Media Center 26 folder. And wasn't a J River one until I did the MC30 installs. (I have been installing MC custom location every since my first MC install. MC16 I think was.) Sooo ... I thought the first packages might be "upgrade" ones and couldn't find the previous install and that caused the run problem. Full disclosure: My Library data is in the default place but all media itself is on a separate disk.
Other than those mentions I can't think of anything unusual about this Dell XPS 8930 Intel i7 64-bit machine or setup. MC26 has done fine.
BTW: there was a Media Center30 Windows-569513.mjr file in the Downloads folder and I deleted it by accident. Does that matter?

Drive check/quick scan just done. No errors
JimH:
The MJR file is your Install key. You could read about licensing on the wiki. The topic is called restoring a license.
Don't worry about installing on your laptop. There's no way there could be a problem caused by it. But it might tell us something. Especially if you use the same file you used to install on the other problem. PC.
I still think you have a problem with Bitdefender, that something was left there.
