    Is this x64 compatible also. I 've tried this a few times now with no joy. The file is not created in My Documents or added to the store even though it says its completed

    I'll need some time to address these issues. My apologies for the late response, I didnt have notifications for this thread on.

    xxxDannyxxx, the example was created on a 64 bit machine, with no available updates at windows update.

    Could you describe where adjustments should be made in the tutorial that would have helped you the first time through?

    You can just delete them from C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\DeviceMetadataStore\en-US if you can remember the numbers or have copies to check on the desktop.
    Either that or delete them all and start again, it won't delete the default ones anyway

    If I remember right I was running it from a standard user account and not an admin account. If you still have issues delete all from C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\DeviceMetadataStore\en-US (It won't let you delete the default ones just skip those) Reboot and try again
