Method 1 (Work for Windows 8)
If you go to the install of the player and run it in compatibility mode for Windows 8, it runs perfectly. My player is located here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\DishAnywhereDesktop\DishAnywherePlayer.exe
- Then, Right click on it, select properties, then click on the compatibility tab.
- You can choose either “Run compatibility troubleshooter” or “change settings for all users”.
- Click the box that says “Run this program in compatibility mode for:”
- Change the drop down box to Windows 8.
- Then apply and ok.
Method 2 (Work for Windows 10)
Here is what did not work, and finally what did.
- First, on this computer running Windows 10, I use Internet Explorer (IE) 11 and the new Edge Web browser, no others. Since Edge does not yet support extensions, it cannot work, of course. IE11 downloaded a WBsomething.exe, which would install but never did anything, so I uninstalled it. (I have Mozilla Firefox on another computer, but it has never worked well any of the Dish Network Web sites.)
- So I downloaded, installed, and launched Google Chrome. When I went to dishanywhere.com, Chrome downloaded DishAnywheresomething.exe. (I had not been able to find this download anywhere else, under any name, and I really scoured the Internet for it.)
- When I installed that, it installed an application named “DishAnywhere SlingPlayer”, which was running all the time in my system tray. (Yes, it has both DishAnywhere and SlingPlayer in its name.) With this installed, I again launched 32-bit IE11, and now it works perfectly. With 32-bit IE11 working, I uninstalled Google Chrome, and everything still works.
So you don’t need Google Chrome, except to download the DishAnywheresomething.exe that you need to install. And you don’t have to change any Compatibility Mode settings on anything. It’s possible that DishAnywhere SlingPlayer will not launch automatically when you open dishanywhere.com with 32-bit IE11. If so, just launch it manually and it will work fine.
Method 3: Update the Driver
-
- You might try downloading and Installing the Adobe flash player for your Firefox

- If the issue still persists, We suggest you to install all the latest hardware drivers in compatibility mode and check, if it works.
