    Hello TOMA1,

     

    I tried this on my Win8 too and it seems the file that we download from the support site does not install. It is the executable file that we will have to use. What I did was I created a shortcut by getting to the directory where the downloaded file was saved and put the shortcut to the desktop.

     

    Regards.

    I don't think that is/was the intention of the programmers but it does work that way.

      Hi TOMA1,

       

      It is by design, RAIDar 6 just runs and does not install, while RAIDar 4.3 intalls.

        JennC,

         

        Why then does it create/install the  %user%\Appdata\Local\RAIDar\RAIDar.exe (a 1067kb file) then?

         

        That is why I believe there is more to the issue.
