I was previously using desktop shortcuts to launch specific playlists.

Example:  "C:\Windows\System32\MC32.exe /Play TREEPATH="Playlists\Radio - Audiophile Jazz"

Both Media Center v29 and v32 installed an additional executable in C:\Windows\System 32 (MC29.exe and MC32.exe) and apparently this executable is necessary to run command lines as they don't work using the normal program executable Media Center 33.exe found in C:\Program Files\J River\Media Center 33\.

However Media Center 33 install did not install the executable MC33.exe in System 32, nor can I find it anywhere on the system drive.  Did my installation for some reason fail to install the file or has that functionality been removed?

Thanks!

I have a copy in my install path, C:\Windows\System32 and C:\Windows\SysWOW64.

It's in mine as well. The only thing I can think of is something like an antivirus app blocking MC from adding them during install.

With one of my installs, the install file got caught by an antivirus program (Avast) and one of the things it identified was MC32.exe. I eventually got it installed, but as AD says, may be antivirus related.

And indeed it was anti-virus related.  With no popups or notifications during install, AVAST had quarantined 3 files (but oddly, not the missing MC33.exe file):

hh_portable.dll
JRiverASIODriver64.dll
Media Core Launcher.exe

reporting them infected with Win64:Evo-gen[Trj]

I disabled the network adapter, disabled AVAST anti-virus and re-ran the installation.  The missing MC33.exe file was written to both OS locations.

Thanks for your help, guys.
