Windows 8 compatibility?

Hello TestComplete community and support,



Anyone had any success with Windows 8? We have some very early releases here and have been unable to get it to work.



I know that only selected partners can access it right now - but on the chance anyone got it to work, I'd love to know how.



Thanks,

Grant McCord

    Hi Ted,



    SmartBear is a Microsoft partner, and we have supported all versions of their OS since Win 98. We have started working on support for Windows 8 as the first public beta became available, and we plan to release it after the official release of Windows 8 by Microsoft.



    If you want to try TestComplete on Windows 8 right now, please contact us to learn how this can be done.

    All:



    while we have not yet started a Beta program for Win 8 support in TestComplete, TestComplete 9 actually includes Beta support for both Win 8 and Internet Explorer 10. I suggest that you start with TC9 and let us know how it goes.



    Please note that TC9 does not support Metro applications at this point.



    Cheers,

    We have just opened a Windows 8 Evaluation program based on Test Complete 9 release.



    If you are already porting your applications to Windows 8 and are willing to help us evaluate pre-release support for Win 8 in TestComplete, we invite you to sign up for the Windows 8 program here:

    The best part is you not only will help us evaluate TestComplete on Windows 8 in your specific environment, but will also get a chance to win a cool prize!



    Looking for your feedback,

  • I got HASP License Manager to install on Windows 8 by launching the Test Complete installer in Windows 7 compatibility mode.
