DreamMaker on Win8 problems
compatibility
Wednesday, November 21, 2012 by arnvid | Discussion: Beginners
Downloaded DreamMaker on Win8, but when trying to start I get a message telling me that it got compatibility problems. When searching Windowns I read that I got to have to purchase Visual Studio first, and then ...
Well, I did not plan to purchase VS - so is there any options anyone would know ?

waxplayer would be correct. DeskScapes and DreamMaker are not yet supported on Windows8.

Dreammaker itself being blocked on Windows 8 is a mistake by Microsoft.
Deskscapes 3.5 should be, but Dreammaker was not supposed to be.
Visual studio would have no impact on this.

For those still having issues, I just renamed DreamMaker.exe in program files and now it works.
Hope this helps.

I don't believe it is supported for Win8. Maybe someone will come by and correct me...
