Windows 10: Zune Software and Windows 10 - Some Success....

I am one of those diehard Zune users who refuse to get rid of my Zune...but I'm dealing with the hassles created from Microsoft decommissioning the server that had Zune software.....and how t get a new Windows 10 PC to be abe to manage my old Zune. I found a link through the community thread here under "Zune Software for 2019" where someone had shared a One Drive folder where you could download both the firmware and the Zune package. Here is that link:https://onedrive.live.com/?authkey=%21AHfvqgkiupblfAw&id=925662A3591A3E31%21305431&cid=925662A3591A3E31If you install the firmware first

Any way to get the Zune software to work on Windows 10?

I still have and love my old Zune HD, it's my main music player, but I recently moved from a Windows 7 computer to a Windows 10 and I can't seem to install the software anymore. I tried looking online for fixes and found the offline Zune installer since the software is no longer supported by Microsoft and it can't contact the Microsoft Zune page anymore. A lot of people said this worked for them but I still keep getting errors. I've ran out of things to try and was wondering if anyone here knew how I could make it work?

This is the error I keep getting:





It goes through the preparing your computer step and onto the installing step, gets to about 6-13% and then jumps to 88% and then the error pops up. I tried installing the firmware first as someone online suggested but that didn't help either (though I had the x86 version first and now when I try to install the right x64 version it pops up that a version of this is already installed but it's not under my program files for me to delete the wrong one.) Either way, the error occurs regardless of what I've tried. My only other option is to use a VM but I really don't want to as that's so much more trouble. I'd love to get it working on my Win 10!

Well I tried that first but it wasn't in my program list so I checked out the program file folder, not there either. *shrugs* But I'm more interested in getting the main Zune software to work. I just happened upon some post online that said installing the firmware worked first for a few people but even after I tried installing the x86 one, Zune still gave the same error and wouldn't finish installation.
