Sophos Endpoint install fails on Windows 8

HMaster
Hi,

As Sys-admin, I allready have a laptop installed with Windows 8 Enterprise. (MSDN for the win [:D] )
But I ran into a problem.... See attached image.

When will Sophos be available for Windows 8 systems?

    Compatibility mode does not work for me.  It doesn't seem to matter whether or not it is 32-bit or 64-bit as I have both here, Server 2012 (now) and Windows 8.  Ti doesn't install on either one of those.  I did get it installed when I had Server 2008.

    Help me Sophos, you are my only hope!  [:P]

    When you re-download the installer from WebAdmin now, it contains Sophos AV Version 10.2 and installs fine under Windows 8.
    Just tested it successfully a few minutes ago...

    But the Update servers seem to be down at the moment, I cannot download updates...

    I am guessing you mean the slim installer?  I also just tried to update my current installation on Windows 7 64-bit, the version has not changed.

    EDIT:  Just tried the slim installer installation, and it is now installing on my Windows 8 laptop.  Yay!  I did not try the full installer.
