Ratbert Unregistered	Hi Phil_H, Are both your machines running the same edition of Windows 8? eg: Basic, Pro or Enterprise? Russ

Anybody have it installed successfully on Pro?

It is a bad thing that the M installer didn't specify which .net version it wanted and just requested the latest version, which was already there. It is a strange thing that several machines were ok, one was not. From the replies, it seems others have equally random experiences. (Crion, I note you're from Stockholm. So am I, moved to the U.S. 35 years ago.)

As Crion pointed out, Control:PC needs .NET version 3. Turns out, Windows 8 includes both v.3 and v.4, but only v.4 is active. The OEMs (the computer manufacturers that deliver Windows-based computers) and some corporate IT department may choose to activate it -- this is the reason for the apparently random behavior. If the Control:PC install fails on your machine, you can just start Control Panel, select Programs, then Turn Windows features on or off, and select .NET 3.5 (on my machine it is the first item). No need to download it. I think the same thing applies to the Config program.
