Re: Installing 6.6.1 Community on Windows 8
I use windows 8 on one of my laptops and there were some quirks that came along with the new graphics layer but I think they are getting ironed out at a fast enough pace. As for finding the control panel, one thing that became invaluable once i found it is right clicking on the windows logo on the task bar. This opens a context menu with fast access to the most important parts.

Re: Installing 6.6.1 Community on Windows 8
Once I remembered what the igor had said, I ran it without any special admin privileges and “only me, so the working installing was that way. When I was having problems (any user), I tried both admin and not. The problem applied both to downloaded installers in the downloads folder and an installer copied from a network drive to the desktop. This is on parallels and the virtual machine file is on an external drive, but I wouldn’t think Windows or the installer would notice. I still haven’t beat Windows 8 into submission, uh, I mean, I haven’t learned my way around Windows 8, so I might be doing something goofy.

Re: Installing 6.6.1 Community on Windows 8
Thanks! I still have trouble shutting down. There is a menu on the right that keeps popping out that allows shutdown, but I don’t know what I do to make it happen.

Re: Installing 6.6.1 Community on Windows 8
Yep. 6.6.0, 6.6.1 and 6.6.2 RC3 all have the same problem. Well, I mean I have the same problem with all 3. I’m sure i’m doing something goofy. This is not from a network drive. This is right from the downloads folder. Do I need to change some security settings?

Has anybody successfully installed these versions on Windows 8? Surely someone has. Was it a real machine? Parallels?

Re: Installing 6.6.1 Community on Windows 8
I think so, since I just clicked a button when I did some privileged things (run as admin, OK some I/O). That is, I didn’t have to type in a password. However, this is Windows 8 and I haven’t learned how to get to the control panel yet.
