MicroStrategy and Windows 8 (1)

Trying to install MicroStrategy Desktop on Windows 8 Developer Preview you may get this error:

MSTR setup tries to install .NET framework. Windows 8 come with .NET 4 and you also have the option to enable 3.5.1 in the operating system.

For further details see the article:

After enabling .NET framework you should be able to install the software.

Once installed the icons are created in the start page of Metro UI.

hope this helps,

Davide

  1. Hi,

    I am unble to install microstrategy on windows8,getting windows authentication missing.
    could you please suggest me

    1. Hello Rajesh,

      two thinks come to my mind: are you installing it being connected with an administrator account?
      Is IIS correctly installed with the proper authentication options enabled (basic, windows)?

      regards,
      Davide
