Project One & Win8
Hmm seems like I hit the Win8 wall too!
Is it really true that there is no workaround the Project One + Win8 problem ??
And no, I don't want to get rid of Win8... =)
Is there no way we can persuade Oswald to do a Win8 compatible version ??
Oswald Pleeeease =) |

damn, no not really, I dont even have the dev enviroment anymore. how about using pixcen, and asking CRT for feats u need from p1? CRT is actively working on it, and its a nice stable painter :)
biggest problem of all (besides being uninspired): no win8 OS around me to test, or even see what goes wrong.
maybe I can share the src if some1 is interested in the old garbage :P |

just a thought, have you tried running it under "compatibility mode"?
I had to install HP scanner drivers the other day for a mate who has Win 8 using compatibility for Vista. |

You might also consider running a virtual machine. |

No, no, no! This can't be real.
"Project 1: Unexpected error". Tried everything, nothing works. |

Unexpected error
All I get! Have tried compability settings. No luck!
Next move must be VM. |

probably the visual basic files are not installed
COMDLG32.OCX
MSCOMCTL.OCX
MBMouse.ocx
I got problems on win7 aswell but once added in windows\sytem32 and registered, everything went ok |

unexpected error is strange, as the latest one print out error msgs. probably the error occures before it even enters my code.
Ian is maybe right, tho the installer copies those files.
it may be tho, that one of the vb6 hacks fail, p1 needed many of those. there are many old win API calls to achieve stuff that vb6 doesnt support directly.
like handling of .ini files, direct GDI calls, the uglyest being overwriting the header structure of an array to repoint it in memory. |

Ian's method doesn't work - the same effect.
But if someone need to register these components (not so easy task on win8.1) must run command prompt as admin. For now there is no other way to do that. |

Maybe try logging with Process Monitor. |
