Windows 8 Support about remotepotato HOT 4 OPEN

I have compiled a version on Windows 8 and can confirm that it works correctly as an application on there.

from remotepotato.

Hi all
The file you need to re-compile for Win8 support is MSEPG.dll.

I finally have a Windows 8 build environment with Media Center and have re-compiled this file and confirm that it gets Remote Potato Server fully working again under Windows 8.

I've uploaded it to the main Remote Potato website - so if you need to grab a copy you can do so from the main downloads page at www.remotepotato.com

If anybody needs me to compile anything under Windows 8, let me know - I have limited time but am happy to do occasional compiles of new code.

EDIT: Ignore me - an uninstall and clean install of Remote Potato server has fixed the below problem!

I've just upgraded to Windows 8 and found RemotePotato no longer worked - the server appeared to be running fine in the settings tool but I couldn't connect to it from anywhere. So I found out about and downloaded the MSEPG.dll replacement file and put that in place, which I guess should have fixed that problem - but now I cannot start RemotePotatoUI.exe at all, so can't start the server! RemotePotatoUI.exe gives the error below when it starts initialising. Can anyone suggest what I need to do? Thanks in advance...

Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue,
the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit,
the application will close immediately.

WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF.
To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1.
Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging.
To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog].

I would uninstall and start with a new installation of Remote Potato if I were you. The downloadble msepg dll is only meant to be used with the most recent version of the server.
