Well as the title says, some (all?) 32-bit setup launchers will not run for me on W8Pro.
I am fairly certain that they did some weeks ago, but not any more. In all the cases I tried, it is older game installers.
I can get them running in safe mode, by using the original CD, or copying the install files to my HDD, so they are technically supported, but something about W8Pro won't let me run them. If I open the task manager, I see "32-bit Setup Launcher (32 bits)" running, not frozen, but not working.
On a fluke I got one installer running once, but I could not reproduce what I did.
Anyone encountered this problem? It's still kind of hard to google W8 problems...
