Consensual Windows 8

[Compton_effect]

I'm normally of the 'Wait for Service Pack 1' School of operating systems.
Leave the initial heartache and trouble for masochists with the time and inclination for it.
But - for once - I relented (My wife likes the Metro Layout and color scheme) and installed Windows 8 on my HTPC. Everything works fine - still getting used to the interface, even my Media Center Package installed without problems.
But...
Installing anything at the moment is like dating a extremely conservative girl - getting consent is a massive headache. Because consent.exe keeps on crashing. Yes - the screen that comes up as a safeguard to ask if you are sure you want to do something - pop up, then disappears faster then Kaiser Sosse.
A reboot usually fixes it for a while - until the next time I need to install something. Anyone else seen this?

Ironically enough - to do that you need to give consent one last time - which I am unable to do as Consent.exe keeps on crashing.

Disable UAC

You have a duff download. It happens. Start from scratch, my friend.

He should try downloading from here instead.

For the record - after a restart was able to disable UAC while notifying windows about the issue.
Only other problem so far is that Media Center does not start up the first time you press the magic button on my Compro remote. You have to start it manually, after that you can exit and start without any issues. Will have to wait for compro to come to the 8 party to fix that.
And yes - Ubuntu and XMBC is waiting in the wings if this fails.

No idea if it will help, but add Media Center to startup.
