Hey guys (and Trent):

I just purchased a nice, new development laptop but decided to have a mfgr. install Windows 8 64-bit instead of paying $150 extra for them to add Windows 7 64-bit onto it.  I've read what Trent said about having to tweak Win8 a bit (permissions) to get VS2012/StrataFrame to work ... I was just wondering if someone could give me a heads up if StrataFrame/VS2012 will actually work ... and also a clue as to the nature/how of the tweaks I'll have to make so as to make my passage a little more easy.

Thanks,

Yes, Win 8/VS2012 works fine.  I run that combination on my home machine and Trent runs it here on his work machine.  Most likely, you won't have to do anything.  We have discovered that the less you fight-the-bit on Windows 8, the more it works just fine.  Trent has to run VS2012 as an administrator, but that is only because of the after-build event we have set up on the StrataFrame source code to put the DLLs into the GAC after the project builds.
