That is good to hear. I have updated the website to explicitly mention
Windows 8 as being supported.

Anyway, installing tinc in any other non-UAC protected directory allows it to run without problems.

Is it also a problem when you create and edit the configuration using the tincctl utility?

All of these are running fine in Win8 x64 environment

That is also good to hear.
