VMC Controller for x64 Windows 7: Found!

[brad77]

A couple of months ago, developer pantarhei has released an update to the VMC Controller project to allow it to work on 64-bit Windows 7 machines. Presumably, this also works on Vista x64. I can confirm that it works on my W7 x64 box.

This version apparently has a few less features than the latest alpha release, presumably because of changes in the Windows 7 Media Center EPG (electronic program guide).

You can find the results of his work here: http://vmccontroller.codeplex.com/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=34386

I just tried and it would not install on a Vista x64.

Have your tried "Remotely Possible"?

[brad77]

I haven't tried that. Have you got a link for the developer's website? I Googled it and found a slew of sites, but none appeared to be the developer. Searching for Avalan wasn't helpful either.

At any rate, the reason I was looking for 64-bit support for the VMC Controller is because there is a driver available (http://www.embeddedautomation.com/forum/showthread.php?t=962) for mControl.

I'm also looking for a 64 bit solution for the VMC controller so I can use the mControl driver and react to Media Center events with my home automation.
