Windows Media Encoder Hot fix install crashes
I am trying to install the latest version of Mimic and it installs but then when I try to record a simple movie Mimic tells me I need to install a windows media encoder hotfix and when I try to install it, it crashes. This is very frustrating. I am running windows 8 and I have tried installing directly from Microsoft. Any ideas?

Did you get a reply to this? I can't use Mimic until I install Windows media encoder hotfix but when I try that it doesn't work.

Hi!
The install worked for me after I ran the install file as administrator. Right-click and choose "Run as administrator".
I got the same message, as probably everyone else running Windows 8.1 will get. But Mimic redirected to a Microsoft url that doesn't work, so was lucky to find the kb929182 here from a german subpage. Have tried finding the Hotfix alot places but none of them works, and doing af new installs of Windows Media Encoder as well.
I hope it works for you!

You can download the encoder from CNET. Here's the link:
