Go to Java site & download latest for Win8.1. I'm pretty sure I had to use the 32bit even though I'm running 64bit Windows. Then right click on the MWConfig.exe & select Compatibility Mode Win7 & select Run As Administrator. I did the same with MW WinGui & both run OK.

You should not have to do this but make sure you have the path to the actual JRE in your %path%, the shortcuts created by the installer will not allow the GUI to start properly. I'm using the 8u25 64-bit version of the JRE without any issues but I'm on Windows 7 64-bit.

What do you mean with %PATH% ?

You can also try this to get Administrator rights to run Java install


How can i enable the administrator account in Windows 8 and 8.1?


The win 8 and win 8.1 admin account and applied as a separate administrator account should be distinguished, all permissions are not here.

Only the first and hidden win-8 (8.1) administrator account on Windows 8 (Seven, Vista, 7, 8.1) brings a full access, but by default it is this Admin-Account not activated.

In order to activate the Windows 8 (Windows-7, Server 2008, 2012, ...) administrator account, please run cmd.exe in the administrative mode. [... see here (Windows-8/Faq-7)]

Then simply type the command:
net user Administrator /active:yes and confirm it by pressing Enter or Return. (Image-1)

To disable the Windows-8 administrator account, simply type the command with "no" :
net user Administrator /active:no and confirm it by pressing Enter or Return. (Image-2)
