MinimServer - Kazoo (downloaded, not Windows Store) - OpenHome Player.

Specifically

• On a Windows PC, create a music library;
• Install MinimServer and MinimWatch, open MinimServer and connect it to the library in the usual way;
• Install OpenHome Player on the PC but do not activate it yet;
• Download Kazoo 4.8 from the link in post #8, and install but do not open it (it can co-exist on the same machine as the newer Windows Store Kazoo);
• Open the player, and make sure that its icon is in the system tray;
• Open Kazoo 4.8, kill the dialog that nags you to update, use the Settings dialog to select the server (which in this version of Kazoo will have the same name as your computer), and select the player (which will also have the same name as your computer;
• You now have a fully functioning OpenHome system on one Windows computer.

I have just done this on my secondary Windows 10 desktop, and it all worked.
