TOPIC STARTER | my working environment | Jan 1, 2013 |
My new working environment is a 17.3 inch laptop with i7, 1 TB HDD, 8 GB RAM.
That's why it is no problem for me to lose gb.
By the way, there may be a difference between normal win8 and win8 enterprise with regards to services. The version of windows shouldn't be affecting the workaround of Across but I have doubts nowadays.

I believe the basic Windows features needed by Across are the same in all editions, so it shouldn't matter if it's Enterprise, Pro, Home or anything else.
I was able to install the 64-bit Windows 8 Enterprise 3-month trial in a virtual machine (in VMware Fusion 4.1.3 on a Mac), and Across PE 5.5 in it. Btw, Across asked for an Office font right at the beginning of the installation, so I had to install Office 2010 first. Across did run on that setup, so it looks like there's no specific incompatibility related to 64-bit Windows 8.
Anyway, if you don't need Across for a client and are only using it for yourself, it won't be a big loss if you can't use it on your new Windows 8 machine. Almost any other CAT tool on the market is better than Across.

TOPIC STARTER | Thanks for your efforts Dominique | Jan 2, 2013 |
Dear Dominique,
I must say that I can not appreciate enough the efforts you have put. Thanks a lot. It seems you have been able to install Across. I really can't figure why I couldn't.

I am really accustomed to Across. The shortcuts and all other things. I was thinking to ask a softkey to a big agency in Europe. I will wait for across support technicians for a week then I will migrate to another one. You know Across is free for freelancer. That was the real benefit for me. I may not afford many other legal CAT tools at the moment.
Across worked fine for me till now.
Lets see what will the future bring?
Thanks again. ▲ Collapse

What you could try is a clean install:
1. Install Windows 8
2. Apply any updates from Microsoft (you need to go to Windows Update several times and reboot in between)
3. Install Office 2010
4. Apply updates (again, via Windows Updates)
5. Install Across
In order not to affect your existing setup, you can do this in a virtual machine, especially since you've got lots of RAM and disk space. Just install VirtualBox and proceed from there. If it works, you can reformat your hard drive and repeat the process on your physical machine.

TOPIC STARTER | finally installed V5.00 | Jan 7, 2013 |

By the way @ Dmoinique: Trados usually requires to create project for full working capacity (analyze and other stuff) whereas Across can work instantly. And you can adjust that each confirmed translation can enter the TM database instantly. I couldn't find it in Trados. Two days of work flew away and I had to write all again. I think I will struggle for Across against all odds. ▲ Collapse

| Update Across? | Mar 6, 2014 |
Hi, apologies for not reading all the steps you've been through, and I really hope you've managed to resolve the issues. I was just wondering if there is any reason why you're not using the latest version of Across (5.7)? I managed to install it on my laptop with Windows 8 (aaaargh), but I seem to remember having problems with SQL during that installation or the previous one, which I eventually solved by downloading the relevant SQL 2008 update directly from Microsoft.
Good luck!

Thanks Johanna,
Now, my Across is working fine. 5.7 wasn't released by the time I was installing.
I got used to Trados. Therefore, I will use Across only if agencies require especially.

| Can't install Across on Windows 8 either | Apr 25, 2014 |
Hi Metin,
I'm not sure if you still have a look on this thread, but I have the same problem and I'm stuck. I have read all the comment on your thread and tried everything but can't go further.

In my laptop with Windows 7, it was successfully installed without any problem. Though I need to get accustomed to it as I am new to Across.
In any case, if you have any suggestion on the installation of SQL Server on Windows 8, I'd be more than grateful. Thank you!

I just installed Across PE 5.7 in Windows 8 (did it in a virtual machine, so as not to "pollute" my own production environment). Across installed all the Microsoft SQL stuff it needed. If I go to Control Panel, I can see all the various SQL bits that were installed a the same time as Across:
If I were you, I would first uninstall anything related to Microsoft SQL Server (via Windows' Control Panel), then let Across install what it needs, as I did.
Just for the record, here is the free space I had on my C: drive before installing Across:
