Financial Analysis CS: Installing on a Windows 8 Machine

Show expandable text

Resolution

Financial Analysis CS (FACS) runs on Windows 8 by requiring elevated administrator privileges to function correctly (i.e. "Run as Administrator" in Windows Vista, 7, or 8).

The standard installation deploys an instance of SQL Server 2005 Express, which is not supported on Windows 8. Therefore, a connection to an existing SQL Server 2008 instance is required in order to install the product on Windows 8.
