The operating system is not adequate for running Clarion 8

[NewsArchive]

This is the message you get when trying to run the Clarion8 installer on
Windows 8 preview.

How do I get around this?

why, but its running now.

Because you run it in Win7 mode on Win8 now and so you bypass the defined
"Target Operation System" :)

I thought I did that the first time. Apparently someone disagreed:)

I think SoftVelocity set the required operating systems for the Clarion 8.0
install and "Windows 8" is not on the "Target Operation System" list <g>

So what you can try is to set the compatibility mode for the install to
Windows 7 and see if Win8 allows it.

I had done that but it didnt work the first time. When I turned off off
(the compat setting) and back on, it worked. No idea why.

Ray,

OK, I miss my Atari 1040ST (Macintosh Plus clone - 68000 processor) -
however I started it up recently - and it could NOT run Apple's OS X Lion
or even in emulation mode - run Windows 7 (guess this means Windows 8 as
well! :-D).

So, we still have our memories! :-D
