I've been running Windows 8 since the Developer Preview in July of last year, but the first time I tried to install it was on the Consumer Preview at a FIRST competition. When that happened I encountered an error which doesn't allow VxWorks to install (More specifically, the installation item "VxWorks 6.3 and General Purpose Technologies").

It tries to execute bspinstall.bat at the end of the install for that item, which ends up essentially hanging the installation. It's still responsive, but waiting for a callback from a batch file that won't come.

The reason?
Here's the status message :
Attempting to exec C:\WindRiver/setup/bspinstall.bat

Uh, I'm pretty sure that file path won't work. And it doesn't. Installation is just as broken on Windows 8 RTM as it was in the preview versions. Regardless of whether or not public opinion sides with the new Modern UI interface, it is the next version of Windows and that means that people are going to be using it. Will we have to wait for the next version in the KOP before these issues are addressed?
