    if you downloaded my package from mega you will see an image about configuring abyss to run properly. in my case i edited abyss.conf to be able to run from i: zune: blablabla. ya need to configure abyss.conf in the parent folder of Abyss soft to run from c:/Abyss Web Server. i told ya. its dumb proof ;D. i uploaded Abyss the very same way i use it . unless your zune drivers are not updated or have wrong install... dunno... i dont use X64 systems dude ( BTW ... It´s not mandatory to have abyss on c: parent folder to work , just check the .conf file )

    Edit: open with notepad the hosts file in the package please . i put 127.0.0.1 resources.zune.net at the bottom . maybe there´s something wrong with your hosts file. if you can upload a picture i will be able to help ya better

    Still not working.

    I got Abyss Web Server installed at C:\Abyss Web Server

    It's reporting: 

    Default Host On Port 80 Running

    (By the way for others the Windows Service "World Wide Web Publising Service" occupies port 80, stop it to get Abyss working on port 80)

    In C:\Abyss Web Server\htdocs is the 4 cab files and zuneprod.xml in C:\Abyss Web Server\htdocs\Firmware\v4_5

    My hosts file has "127.0.0.1 resources.zune.net"

    Any idea's?

    Thank you so much for this solution. Your package revived my years-old Zune 30 at last :D

    At least, the Zune software now recognizes my Zune 30 again.
