error 0x8007064a apps won't start
DanTheTechMan:
shane, my computer had so many errors (most NOT due to ur tools) that I was forced to do a complete reinstall of win8. looks like i'll be up extremely late (again)!
btw, I tried that tool u just linked me to time and time again, mostly with no luck whatsoever.
Shane:
As I have been digging into the app store problems it is AMAZING how fragile it is. One simple permission setting will break it.
I think I may need to put an update out asap that disables the reg permissions repair on Win 8 till I can find what keys it is complaining about.
The funny thing is even when I add everyone full rights to every key (It is something under hkey local machine from my tests) it doesn't matter. It seems that Microsoft sees any permissions change at all to certain keys it wont install apps. It must be some sort of DRM they are using. Problem is NO ONE knows which keys. Using process mon from sysinternals the app store hits over 10,000 reg keys!!!
So it truly isnt a permissions denied error, it is more a "oh someone change a permissions, they must be trying to install apps they didn't buy" type thing, that or bad programming on their part.

DanTheTechMan:
or what u could do, to save urself a bunch of work, is just temporarily re-upload the current AIO repair tool as a zip file with a readme for win8 users.
Shane:
If I could just trace what reg keys it is looking at I could put a command to remove any changes to the permissions. But no one knows yet what keys it is hitting. And when I Google errors with the app store it is shocking the amount of people having trouble.
Right now I traced it to the reg permissions and to keys under the hkey local machine section. I cant have my repair tool breaking things, which in a way it isn't as there is full access with the permissions, it is the DRM MS is doing that doesn't like permission changes. Only option till I find those reg keys is to block the reg permissions repair on Windows 8 only.
I am trying my hardest to trace what keys it is looking at. I wont give up just yet :-)

Shane:
Until I find the reg keys the app store doesnt like touched I put out v1.9.6 with the reg permissions disabled for Windows 8 :-)
