    The public release isn't till October and software developers may have to wait to test compatibility.

    Developers flay Microsoft for withholding Windows 8.1 RTM

    Inevitably, Windows 8.1 RTM leaks on to the Internet

    Please see http://www.safer-networking.org/wind...or-spybot-2-1/

    I assume you are one of those software developers.

    I assume you are getting the same error as I am?

    I'm having the exact same problem. Windows Pro 8.1 x64 (RTM).

    This is even after the Fix has been installed. Here's a screenshot:

    The same. Managing to install the program itself but still won't run even after the patch is installed

    With the instructions on http://www.safer-networking.org/wind...or-spybot-2-1/ you can install Spybot 2.1, but you still cannot use the Start Center. Instead you have to start the different Spybot modules e.g. via the start menu entries directly.

    @NUTTER123 and @skowt: Can you really still not install the software using the patch or can't you just use the Start Center then? Please be precise as this will help us fix this issue. Thank you!

    I am able to install now that's not a issue but the image skout posted? When I try to start (even after I installed the patch) the program still gives me that message about compatibility so in effect it's still unusuable. It installs fine but can't use it basically even after patch installed
