I have a Win 8.1 PC with WMC and a Flirc with v0.96 (fw 255) running for a couple of year. It's located 4 hours from me but I use VNC over broadband to remote control thing. It's used by my parents.

 

Because of endless with issues with Win 8.x and will temporary take their Win 7 desktop pc and use it for WMC.

 

I must get flirc working in the Win 7 PC 32-bit but without upgrading to latest flirc versions and without config changes in the flirc

 

Can I simply install the v0.96 from homepage on my Win 7 PC? I did a quick trial but so far I can't get it running (not recognized in flirc GUI). When switching back to Win 8it works as before.

 

Is it something wrong with the 0,96 version on homepage when using with Win 7?

 

 

Appreciate any help because I have ditched my parents TV for now...

If you don't want to make any config changes to the flirc then you really don't need the flirc software at all. Just plug it into the PC and everything should work as before. You only need the software to change flirc configuration and to record buttons.
