Does Scratch 1.4 run on Windows 8?

smile  I don't have a Win 8 machine - can someone who has one try it out, and let us know if there are any tricks that we should know about, in case people have questions?

A step by step list of instructions to install it could be really helpful - especially if Win 8 makes it tricky to do.

Re: Does Scratch 1.4 run on Windows 8?

It's worked fine for me on Windows 8 No Glitches to report as of yet (Intrestingly I haven't got the DTB yet...) The NSIS installer works fine as well.
Scratch 2.0 is also fine.

(Useful tip for Win8, with nothing to do with scratch, WinKey+X = Menu with RegEdit, CMD, ...)

Who would have thought Lightnin would one day be asking the Scratchers about Scratch. :p
