Ros on windows 8

[Neha Satak]

Hello,

I am wondering if anyone has installed WinROS on windows 8 ? I am considering buying a computer with windows 8 software.

Thank you.

Hi Neha,

Haven't tried it here yet (don't have any licences for Win8 yet) and haven't heard of anyone else having tried yet.

Oh, sorry, meant to mention that I have built Groovy win_ros
successfully on Windows 8, using the Windows 7 SDK, as 32-bit binaries.

I made these notes to myself during the experience:

* Follow the win_ros instructions
* Before installing the Win7 SDK, first remove any MSVC 2010 runtime
components that are installed otherwise installation will fail with an
Return Code 5100
* Copy the Python registry keys from "Wow6432Node" to its parent. It
seems that the Python installer is a 32-bit program and hence installs
its keys there, but CMake is a 64-bit program and hence looks in the
usual place when looking for the Python registry keys.
* Setup the console window environment for Win7 SDK before attempting
to compile anything by executing: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft
SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Bin\SetEnv.cmd" /x86 /Release
* Do the nmake install as suggested at the end of the build process.
