Title: cant install on new windows 8??
Post by kennyp on Sep 5^th, 2013 at 12:43pm

hi people hoping someone can help,

I have tried to install pico6 on my new laptop, it all goes well right up until the end, actually puts desktop shortcuts on desktop then, comes up with message, rolling back, and uninstalls and that's it.

has anyone seen this before? I've tried it in compatibility mode and still does the same thing. ;D

I see you posted this on the Pico boards so maybe they might have some suggestions for you. I'm sure they will want to know what version of PicoScope you are attempting to install as well as maybe a screen shot of your PC properties window.

I don't think we have seen that issue on a Win 8 machine. Have you tried the 6.7.28.7 release candidate? Got a screen shot of the PC properties window?

Of course, most are staying away from Windows 8 as it is a problem OS in so many ways not related to PicoScope.
