windows 8

[ltcbm]

I just upgraded to a new laptop with windows 8. Can I get a copy of the latest beta software to try on it.

To get a download link for the beta (2.23) software, e-mail [email protected] and request it. You'll get a link on your hptuners.com member profile page.

I've been trying to re-install my software on a new computer with Windows 8 and I keep getting a .net error. I've went through the programs and I have all the way up to .net 4.0. I also went the a website and tried to install an easy msi editor to help with the install with no luck. Any other avenue that you can suggest?

I ended up just putting XP on the Laptop to make sure I have a trouble-free experience with HPTuners. That worked.

Windows 7 would have also worked but I only have an "upgrade" license, not a clean install license.

Windows 8 has a bizarre user interface anyway. It starts up fast as hell though.

For those wanting to use HPT with Windows 8, make sure you have .NET Framework 3.5x installed.

See here:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh506443.aspx

"You can also enable the .NET Framework 3.5 yourself through Control Panel. In Control Panel, choose Programs and Features, choose Turn Windows features on or off, and then select the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.1 check box. This option requires an Internet connection."

That will install .NET 2.0 and 3.0, as well.

After doing this, restart your computer, then uninstall any current copy previously installed of HPT, restart again, then install the latest beta (you'll need to email [email protected] for it). Everything should work just fine now under Windows 8. It does for me, and I'm getting zero errors.
