Cpanel won't install on Windows 10 Pro or Edu version


Windows 10 pro Installed great and right at the end of installing the support software, bugs out to the command prompt, then to an error with nothing but an "ok" message. Not sure what to do, but holding option to switch an no lit keys is beginning to be a pain. I noticed all the drivers installed correctly, and even shows the Apple Bootcamp application in Program files, but it won't open worth anything, run as admin, nothing, yet. Everything works perfectly except even the detection of the touch-bar and backlit keyboard (keys work). I have a feeling it's the T2 chip? Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Thank you!

Yes, my thoughts are there were issues with the EDU version as well, I ended up sticking to Win10 pro, and had the same issues.


That is until stumbling across one of those " smack it 3 times and do a dance remedies" Well, first on the MacOS side it said to make sure you boot properly from the settings start up and select bootcamp, then once on the W10 side, go to system32 and find AppleOSSMgr.exe, make a copy of it and zip it somewhere. Then delete it (sounds crazy I know) once deleted, extract that zip to the same folder and via admin run. Then once I restarted, clicked on bootcamp and the cpanel was back! and the Touchbar was working!


Unfortunately the only issue now is the fingerprint scanner, which not sure if that will ever work, but not a huge issue for me, and the back-lit keyboard, even though now the settings are there, a Regedit might be in order.


Thanks again for your quick response!
