InstallAware 2012 vs Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012

[m.duchesneau]

Hi, quick question.

Should InstallAware 2012 - compiled packages work with Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 OSes? Or do I need to upgrade to InstallAware 14?

Dear User,

yes packages builded with IA 2012 should work with Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 OSes.
However, you will not have with IA 2012 features that are actually available specifically for these new Oses.

Thanks for the quick answer!

How about IIS application manipulation? Upon creating IIS applications is where it seems my installer is having trouble when I use Win2012.

Also, how about compatibility with Windows 8?

Thanks again!
