    We are inside MP2 part of forum ;)

    @wolfe: MP2 should install and run on Win8 without issues. There were already threads about this topic. If it fails for you, please provide more details, logs and screenshots.

    Windows 8 is added as supported OS some time ago.
    The Winter Release is the recent version and a lot newer than the MP2-Setup-Alpha-Release.msi. ATM the devs are working on the Spring release (maybe Alpha2 or an early Beta).

    100% my bad - as expected :) So, I had disabled the Windows Update service. Not a wise move, until MP all installed and working nicely. The reason it failed is because DotNetFrameworkChecker.cs looks in Registry HKLM SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\NET Framework Setup\\NDP for v4/v4.0 AND v3.5. W10 has V4.0 but not 3.5. MP installer...
