haven't tried it but I would think it should work....you can always use Compatibility Mode to run it....there's even a Program Compatibility Troubleshooter you can use if it doesn't work which will attempt to fix the problem itself

worst-case scenario, you can use Hyper-V in Windows 8 (comes with it) to virtualize an XP or Win7 environment where you can run NOI

I am yet to see anyone posting that NOI works on Windows 8, but if you are successful in getting it to work please remember to let us know.

N.O.I won't run in Win 8

Win8 has 4.5 .NET, even after I installed the compatibility pack for .NET 2/3/3.1 it wouldn't run.

The only other option is to run a VM with win7

I had to uninstall it and go back to Win7, just wait until either a new version of NOI is released or somebody finds a way to make it work with WIN8.

Has anyone tried extreem 4.14 with win 8 yet ? it dosen't use n.o.i. for connecting your nfusion to a server and should work with no problems on win 8 word is extreem is working great for sd nfusions nothing for hd yet.My point is don't let n.o.i. stop you from testing win8 cheers.

I would run Win8, and then run VBOX to emulate win7 for NOI.

But I run Linux anyways..lol

c&p from another site

I did some investigation into this issue to figure out why it's not running. It silently crashes leaving a message in the event log. The event log error indicates a memory issue but I didn't think that was the case.
Tried the compatibility troubleshooter and finally got the program to indicate an error dialog (xenocode postbuild 2010) couldn't find the .NET framework, even though I had just added it through the add Windows 8 features.

Did some searching on what XenoCode Postbuild 2010 was and found there are issues with windows 8.

Xenocode software packages the .NET program and associated dll's into a single .exe program which doesn't appear to be a .NET program anymore.

Found that is it possilbe to extract the .NET program from the xenocode .exe.

Downloaded a software called .NET Generic Unpacker (from ntcore.com)
Running under Windows 7 I ran NOI.
Launched the unpacker software.
selected the NOI process (there are 2, one is .NET the other is non .NET).
Extracted the .NET process.
Ended up with two files
Unpacked-1.dll
Unpacked-2.exe

Ran the Unpacked-2.exe and NOI launched, but when I tried the "start" button, it crashed complaining about ClassLibrary1.dll not found.
I renamed the Unpacked-1.dll to ClassLibrary1.dll and re-ran Unpacked-2.exe. Low and behold, it worked.

Rebooted into Windows 8 and now have a working NOI.


(i never had the chance to try it yet...i have the noi for windows 8 if anyone wants it)
