    Cannot install VLC on Windows 8, I'm getting the error: A referral was returned from the server
  • Pierre-Luc Champigny

    I'm having an issue while installing VLC in Windows 8 (upgraded from Windows 7). I keep receiving the error: A referral was returned from the server when I'm trying to install the application. I tried to run it as administrator and I get the same error.

    I ran sfc /scannow and it didn't discover any corrupted Windows files.

    Can somebody help me out with this problem.

    I finally found the problem, I was having problem because I deactivated UAC and the VLC is not signed and validated.

    Here how to fix this problem:

    1. Run gpedit.msc from the start menu.
    2. Go to Computer Configuration/Windows Settings/Security Settings/Local Policies/Security Options.
    3. Change the value of User Account Control: Only elevate executables that are signed and validated from Enabled to Disabled.
