K-PACS was developed at a time when operating systems such as Windows 7 and 8 did not yet exist. It was basically designed to work on XP and Vista. You may try it out, but we cannot confirm that the application will run faultlessly on the newer operating systems.
For a more comprehensive, supported solution, please consider our FDA and CE approved diagnostic viewing station, iQ-VIEW, as an alternative. While the current version has not been officially validated on Windows 8, it seems to run well on this OS. The next software version will officially support Windows 8 and can then also be used for diagnostic purposes on this OS.

Any specific issues that you would like to or could share with the community? We get questions like this once in a while and it would be nice if people could look it up in the forum. Thanks.

Yeah, Exactly, it's compatible, Even I installed..

Are you saying that you successfully installed and ran K-PACS on a Windows 8/8.1 computer? Any specific settings you used (like "run as administrator", disabling UAC, etc.)? This may help others getting a K-PACS installation running. Thanks.

Hello,
I have too this kind of problem.
Switched from my old windows 7 workstation to a newer windows 8,1, k-pacs can run, but' can't save dicom servers under "network section"
It was very useful for us, since we are owner of 14 iqview license!!! This because we are techinician, not the end users (doctors) so we support and troubleshoot dicom event with k-pacs just in case of troubles.SInce it's not working anymore, what's the alternative ?

Not being able to save configuration settings sounds like you do not have sufficient user permissions to do so. Run K-PACS as administrator, try setting specific folder permissions and/or disable the UAC. No guarantees, though.

I managed to get it worked ... I am the worksation's admin, but in windows 8,1 it's better not to install in c:\program files (since even admin are not fully able to write on it), but just leave the standard dir during installation c:\k-pacs. I confirm, it's fully working even on windows 8
bye

Thank you for your positive reply and the suggestion for other users.
Installing software under "C:\Program Files" will certainly work also under Windows 8.1, but the installer needs to take care of the folder permissions. I don't think that the K-PACS installer does that, since it was created with Windows XP and Vista in mind.
So, yes, using the C:\ directory could be a good choice.
