Solved!
Go to SolutionSourceOne and Windows 8
Two part question here:
Is it possible to install source one on windows 8, by bypassing the OS check so that I avoid the msg: This is not a supported operating system version or service pack.?
If this not a function I can bypass, can I be put on the beta test list and try out a windows 8 offline client?
Thanks,
Charlie
Greetings,
If I am not wrong Windows 8 was only released for manufacturing. GA release is expected to go out on 26th October 2012. Currently Windows 8 is not in the SourceOne compatibility list. Till it goes to GA and then gets added to compatibility guide by EMC, it is not officially supported by EMC.
To find out where EMC stands in terms of Windows 8 support I would request you to open Service Request with EMC SourceOne support. You can also enquire about any early adoption plans for testing and if there is something then register your interest.
Regards,
Rajan
I know,
There has got to be some switch to force the install no matter what but I can’t find it, I have looks for weeks, I have to use my webmail for archive and that sucks. I don’t know why emc is not answering this question since it will be available for businesses a week from Thrusday and I have people that have been waiting along time for tablets win8 ones.

For beta testing, they really didn't want to allow me to choose what I tested. It appeared to be more of a 'are you willing to test whatever comes down the pipe.' Soooo...I opted out. I really just want the Win8 offline access client.
If anyone finds a solution, please let me know!
Thanks,
Charlie
This may be a reach, but have you tried running the installer in compatibility mode? I've seen that work with other installers that do OS checks. Right-click the .exe, go to Properties, go to the Compatibility tab, then use that first dropdown.
This is kind of nuts I really want my staff to start using win8 and it works with all are software but the EMC sourceone
and I'm sure it will work its just the software views the install base as win 8 and will not continue ...
I have tried everything to install this software .
nuts..

i just posted this in another thread here. but i got it working..
took a little tweaking, but 20 minutes to research and complete this was no where the amount of time needed on waiting for EMC
Used the following sites:
(1) http://www.technipages.com/download-orca-msi-editor.html
(2) http://clifgriffin.com/2008/10/31/installing-an-msi-in-compatibility-mode-orca-hack/
- Run the .exe installer.
- While it's open, go to your temp directory and grab the .msi file for Source One. Copy it to C:\ (or where ever you would like)
- Install ORCA MSI Editor from the first link above.
instructions are then at link (2) above, or just follow below:
- right click the EMC .msi file and 'Edit with ORCA'
- on the left side click 'InstallExecuteSequence' and drop the row LaunchConditions and EX_Val_Configuration
- on the left side click 'InstallUISequence' and drop the row LaunchConditions and EX_Val_Configuration
- file save
- file exit
- run the "new" .msi installer.
- afterwards, i just ran the .exe and did a repair on the installation and now everything works great !!
Hello Windows 8 and EMC Source One !
