Windows 10: How to get my old Zune to act as a harddrive so I can extract the music from it?

I have an old Zune which has ton of music but is there any way to make it act as a harddrive so I can extract the music?I installed the Zune software but it keep saying Device not connected. I do see the Zune in device manager and the driver is working.Thanks

Any way to get the Zune software to work on Windows 10?

I still have and love my old Zune HD, it's my main music player, but I recently moved from a Windows 7 computer to a Windows 10 and I can't seem to install the software anymore. I tried looking online for fixes and found the offline Zune installer since the software is no longer supported by Microsoft and it can't contact the Microsoft Zune page anymore. A lot of people said this worked for them but I still keep getting errors. I've ran out of things to try and was wondering if anyone here knew how I could make it work?

This is the error I keep getting:





It goes through the preparing your computer step and onto the installing step, gets to about 6-13% and then jumps to 88% and then the error pops up. I tried installing the firmware first as someone online suggested but that didn't help either (though I had the x86 version first and now when I try to install the right x64 version it pops up that a version of this is already installed but it's not under my program files for me to delete the wrong one.) Either way, the error occurs regardless of what I've tried. My only other option is to use a VM but I really don't want to as that's so much more trouble. I'd love to get it working on my Win 10!

 

Extracting Zip Files

Thanks pyramid10 for your contribution, I ensured that the steps taken and the source and destination folders were the same, in the using zip7 as suggested by BunnyJ resolved all issues for me.
I am the first to admit that I am a long long way from understanding the intricacies of computers and if truth be told I am now to old anyway to absorb much information.
Cheers.

 

Extracting Zip Files


Are the step-by-step processes identical? That is, the folder extracted from and the folder extracted to belong to the same hierarchical file system structure. If they are, that suggests mildly the Cumulative Update left an electron or two out of place.
