Help - MCC Potential fix for the "Easy Anti-Cheat is not installed." error from the 2025-02-28 update
I have the game installed via the Microsoft Store/xbox app, so your mileage may vary, but this is the only thing that worked for me.
- Navigate to the install location for your game in File Explorer, something like C:\XboxGames\Halo- The Master Chief Collection\Content (if you have the xbox app installed, you can navigate to the location by finding the game in the xbox app, clicking on the overflow menu (three horizontal dots) next to the PLAY button, then clicking on Manage -> Files -> Browse -> Halo- The Master Chief Collection -> Content
- Open
MicrosoftGame.config
in a text editor (select something like notepad when windows prompts you to select a program to open the file with) - Look for the line that reads something like
<InstallAction File="easyanticheat\easyanticheat_eos_setup.exe" Name="EasyAntiCheat Install Task" Arguments="install 65f3348d248347a5bd809372b15cf268" />
this is mainly to get theArguments
list (I'm not entirely sure if this is the same for everyone, or if it can vary, hence why I have this step here). My suspicion as to what the issue is, is that the command described in this line is supposed to run on first start up of the game after the update is installed, but for whatever reason, it's not. We need to execute it manually. - Open the windows command prompt (
cmd
) or windowspowershell
. To opencmd
, press⊞ Win+R
, type incmd
, and hitenter
. - Navigate to where your MCC install is located. More specifically, we are going to navigate to where the easy anti-cheat installation binary is. This can be done by doing
cd /d "C:\XboxGames\Halo- The Master Chief Collection\Content\easyanticheat"
. Replace the path to your MCC install if necessary. - Run the easy anti cheat setup with the arguments from step 3. This will look something like
.\easyanticheat_eos_setup.exe install 65f3348d248347a5bd809372b15cf268
(this may bring up an user account control prompt which you will need to accept). - Run MCC like normal.

Um, ahkschually, baguette is a feminine noun, so it'd be la baguette.
