Amazon Unbox fails in Win8...

Question

I am testing Windows 8 Developers Preview.  And, although anything that will run on Windows 7 will (eventually) run on Windows 8, I had to enable Windows XP SP3 compatibility and Run As Administrator to get it to run the setup.  Then, when trying to play a movie, it failed and issued error code [0xC00D2728].

I submitted the issue to Amazon as well.

Jim_hubbard,

Thank you for posting your feedback, we want to make sure we get the right info including your log files. Can you also submit feedback using the Windows Feedback Tool from the Connect Site associated with your Windows Developer Preview program? If you’re an MSDN subscriber, the information on how to join the Connect program is included on the download page where you installed Windows Developer Preview. There’s a link to the Connect site and an invitation code that you can click on to join using a Windows Live ID account. If you’re not an MSDN subscriber follow this limited use linkto join the Connect program and then follow the steps here.

 

In case the link above gets messed up, the URL is below:

The last link goes to: How do I install the Windows Feedback Tool and file a bug

 

If there are any questions let us know.

 

Thanks,

I have the same issue, I can run it on Windows7 in Hyper-V but the performance sucks
