Installing Lightscribe Template Labeler on Windows 8.1

Unfortunately some companies are slow to update their installers for new operating systems even though the software runs fine.  I'll explain how to get the Lightscribe Template Labeller installed

Step 1 - Download the installer

You can get it here: Lightscribe Template Labeller

Step 2 - Extract the MSI File

From the command line, in the folder where you downloaded LightScribeTemplateLabeler_1.18.27.10.exe, run it with a /A option.  Something like this:

C:\...\Downloads> LightScribeTemplateLabeler_1.18.27.10.exe /A

This will extract the setup for a network install.  You will find the Lightscribe Template Labeller MSI file where you told to extract the network image.

Step 3 - Download and install SuperOrca (or Orca included with a windows SDK from Microsoft, if you prefer)

You can get it here: http://www.pantaray.com/msi_super_orca.html

Step 4 - Open the Lightscribe Template Labeller in SuperOrca, find the Launch Condition with VersionNT restrictions and add 'OR (VersionNT = 603)' to the list of compatible versions:


Step 5 - Doubleclick the MSI

TADA!  Hopefully this works for you :)
