Does IA 2012 work in Windows 8?

I'm about ready to update a test development machine to Windows 8 RP to see if I'll be able to upgrade my development box to Windows 8 when it's released. The compatibility wizard says InstallAware is not compatible? Has anyone had anyone tried it?

Dear User,

honestly I just tried to execute a setup package on Win 8 ... but I suppose that IA itself should work even if compatibility wizard reports as not compatible.

Due the fact that win 8 is actually only a beta ... things are still pending.

Regards

Well, it doesn't work :)

At least building a project doesn't. It takes a LONG time, then eventually hangs.

EDIT: It does eventually continue. But its definitely slower. I'll try and do some more testing with it if you guys are interested.
