mrbios Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 Just wondering because i have two windows 8 enterprise PCs and it just hangs on install. We've set them up as test PCs for teachers to play with in the staffroom.....should be interesting.

I contacted Impero regarding this, they are working on Windows 8 support for sometime in the first half of this year. 1
dhoward_westexetc Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 Thank you dhoward_westexetc You're welcome
russdev Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 Thank you dhoward_westexetc There is a beta version (contact support and they can sort you out) which works but missing a few things mainly dam metro interfering. Don't want to put a date on it yet until developer finished hitting metro with a rather large stick... 2
mrbios Posted January 10, 2013 Author Posted January 10, 2013 Cheers russdev, I'll soldier on without it for now, it's not a major issue, just would have been nice to be able to monitor anyone "playing" with the windows 8 test pcs. Plus i think even if we were thinking of moving over to windows 8 it'd be in more like 9 months time anyway

DrCheese Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 The client works (for managing other machines) fine. You just need to install .net 2.0 first.

dhoward_westexetc Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 As a follow up to this post, Impero 4.0.04 works on Windows 8 fine now. 1
Liam Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 I can confirm this I have it working on the machines in my office.. Not sure about some features like request assistance on login screen etc not that far into testing
mrbios Posted April 24, 2013 Author Posted April 24, 2013 Seeing as this thread is still alive, just for anyone with v4005....if you have v4 + you have the GP enabled for "Do not display last username" (on the login screen) you might find that remote login functionality doesn't work. Got impero working on a fix though...
russdev Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 Was a reason asked about login screens in other thread as looking at making sure got common setups on our test network. 1

arron Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 Odd, we have had 3502 working with windows 8 here for a while.. however i did get the install error at one point. All i think i changed was installing net 3.5 via windows features, that sorted many backwards compatibility issues. Also, the IE10 BHO issue is sorted by disabling protected mode.

Strange injection broke on some setups on Windows 8 on 3502 but not others.. Russell
NorthernSands Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 I am currently trying to install Impero 3502 client on my Windows 8 workstation, but it errors out with "Service 'Impero Client SVC' (ImperoClientSVC) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start the system service." I'm logged is as a Domain Admin with Local Admin rights. UAC is set to 'Never Notify' though, and I know Windows 8 really doesn't like that. Any ideas, anyone? Version 4 should be available to us soon, so I may have to wait. Love the product, though! :-)
Valyyn Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 We had that problem, it was actually to do with .net framework 2 and 3 not being turned on by default in Windows 8. See here for turning it back on though: How to enable .NET Framework 3.5 on Windows 8 in Offline Mode The GUI way kept refusing to work for some reason, so we had to use the offline command at the bottom of that article

NorthernSands Posted May 12, 2013 Posted May 12, 2013 Thanks all, got it working now. It was me being stupid. I thought .Net 2 was already installed for something else, but that was my laptop! Oops. :-)
