Try running cmud.exe /regserver from a command prompt.

Great idea, though unfortunately CMUD bombs trying to register itself as a COM server. I suspect that this is the problem. It failed to do so during installation. It gets an OLE error. Something in CMUD is not compatible with Windows 8.

Interesting. It seems some people are able to install in windows 8 and some aren't - see this thread. Perhaps an outdated OLE driver or something? It'd be nice to track down what's actually causing this problem...

On a hunch, I uninstalled (uninstall didn't work from the control panel, had to do it manually) and then re-installed CMUDPro. It is now correctly registered.
I could be that the /regserver CMUD issues is a hit-and-miss thing, though if it fails, CMUD doesn't say anything. |

I solved it.
Direct play is missing.
I had the exact same trouble. I updated all initial updates and 8.1. Then ran the client. Ta da said I needed direct play.
Zmud also works too ..fully playable |

If you do "cmud /regserver" after installation you will have problems because of UAC. The easiest way to do it likely would be to create a shortcut and set the command in there to include the parameter, then right click on the shortcut and do "run as administrator". However, I know very little about Windows these days since I moved to Linux nearly 10 years ago.
