Upgrading Windows 8 Release Preview to RTM
29. August 2012 4 Comments
Windows 8 Release Preview was quite ok and therefore I’ve run it as quasi production system on my HP 8540w. Although upgrading from any of the preview versions is not supported, you may convince the installer to perform an upgrade by modifying the cversion.ini file, see Bing. Here are some key applications I’ve run on Release Preview:
| Dynamics AX 4.0 SP2 Dynamics AX 2009 SP1 RU8 Dynamics AX 2012 CU3 HyperV Role |
Visual Studio 2008 SP1 Visual Studio 2010 SP1 Visual Studio 2012 Preview Virtual PC SP1 Network driver |
Almost everything was ported successfully. Unfortunately the Virtual PC network driver for device emulator was not working, and the VMs could no longer connect to the network. However, after uninstalling and re-installing Virtual PC 2007 x64 the virtual network adapter was working. Some SQL Server components also reported compatibility problems. Manually cleaning the system drive will remove the old installation and some GB hard disk space.
Update 28.8.2012
Windows refused to boot anymore and was stuck at the windows logo. However, after the fourth boot killing power-off windows recognized that it requires a repair. After 20 minutes black magic self healing its working again.

Hello Sir. Do Dynamics AX version 4.0 will run in Windows 8 (32 and 64 Bit mode) ? thanks.
I’m running an AX 4.0 SP2 Client on my HP-8540w Notebook with Windows 8 x64. As far as I can tell it works, however it is not supported by Microsoft
