Installation of MetaStock 11 EOD doesn't work - even with administrator rights - on Windows 8 Release Preview 64 bit.
When I click setup.exe the User Account Control Window appears and I click Yes.
Nothing happens.
Is MetaStock 11 EOD incompatible with Windows 8, I asked Equis support?
The reply was:
"We do not support Windows 8 and have not seen the product.
In Windows 7 you can copy the files from the disc onto the desktop into a folder and run setup.exe from the files transferred onto the computer, and it will generally work, you can try something similar in windows 8; however since the OS is unsupported we can not guarantee any result."
I have tried that without success.
The final Windows 8 is a few weeks away - and Equis has not seen the OS?
Apparently MetaStock is classified as compatible: http://www.microsoft.com...LastSearchTerm=metastock
Is there anything I can do - apart from reinstalling Windows 7 for a few weeks?

While a product, especially software, is in developement, it is subject to change. Our QA department has a copy of Windows 8. I would be surprised if our Developers and product managers have not looked at it too. However, until it release, any findings they have are peliminary at best.
When Windows 8 is finally released, a final test of metastock on this new OS will be made. If there are any issues, a solution will be presented to our customers at that time.

Olá amigos, sou do Brasil e acabei de comprar um note book com windows 8 americano. O Metastock tem uma problema: - não consigo colocar o mouse em cima do gráfico, o mouse simplesmente escorrega para fora do gráfico me impedindo de mexer no gráfico. Alguém pode me ajudar? obrigado

Hi Leandro, I am having exactly the same issue. I have a Surface Pro with Windows 8 and Metastock 11. And I thought I was going crazy, but the mouse stops working as soon as u hover over a chart. I've also found trying to draw for example trend lines is very touchy. Have you been able to find out anything else on this topic? One thing that would work I guess (without having tried it) would be to install a Windows 7 VM onto the Windows 8, but a Windows 8 solution would be better.... obviously. cheers Adam
