as Microsoft released Windows 8 today I was curious whether the current version of Quantshare will work with Windows 8. Can we upgrade yet, or do you rather suggest to wait for the next Quantshare update?
Yes, QuantShare should work on Windows 8. But you must make sure that you have the .Net framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0) enabled. It is not enabled by default.
Thanks. To share some experience for the others, I upgraded to Windows 8 Pro today (no new installation, from Windows 7 Home). Quantshare runs smoothly without any adjustments necessary.
Hi
I have just installed Windows 8 and when I try to run Quantshare I got a pop-up window saying %u201CExtended Attributes are Inconsistent%u201D. After many experiments with various setups, it appeared that the problem was related to Windows sound notification for UAC prompt (sound scheme). So after changing the Windows sound scheme to Windows default, Quantshare runs as before under Windows 7.
In the computer section select %u201CControl Panel%u201D -> In control panel search bar (top right) type %u2018Sound%u2019 -> select %u201CChange system sounds%u201D -> select %u201CWindows User Account Control%u201D and change the sound to (none) or Windows Default then click OK.

Trading financial instruments, including foreign exchange on margin, carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in financial instruments or foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
