Welcome to our forums
We would also very much like to test your new windows 8 compatible compiler. What do we need to do?
The same problem occurs in Windows 7 with 5.4.0.0 and a new Project containing: Program Test Write (,) 'Hello World' Pause End Program
It is possible that FTN95 5.4 will not work on Windows 7 with .NET - especially Windows 7 x64. Can you try a more recent compiler?
If in the slightest doubt whether it is a version-related problem, I find it advisable to download the PE version and try that. If it is a genuine bug, then the PE version won't work, whereas if it is version-related then the PE will work and the older licensed version won't.
It is unreasonable to expect a version of FTN95 that may well precede a particular Windows version to work faultlessly: Microsoft are not sticklers for backwards compatability. This forum is full of discussions each time MS brings out a new .NET version OR a new Windows version.
