Hello Team StarWind,

I have downloaded starwind Hyper-V edition and wished to use it on my Windows 8 Ent computer . I am using Hyper-V as a virtualization technique. To my dismay I found out that I am not being able to install the software on the system as it Prompts saying that Windows Hyper -V role is not installed .. This is surprising since I have correctly installed the role on the system and am using that to create my owne Lab env. This is really sad..

Please help me with this one .. Dont force me using VMware for a change .. since it works just fine with that . ..

Thanks
SBane
