Installing NIS after installing Windows 8.1

One of the issues that many have had is getting NIS to run after the WIN8.1 installation. Here are the steps to do which worked for me:

 

1.  un-install the existing copy

2.  Remove all keys in registry that are for NIS ( both Norton and Symantec )

3.  Reboot using SAFE MODE with Network

4.  Reinstall NIS

5.  Boot back into normal mode and finish the install ( if you get the incompatibility message just ignore and run NIS manually )

6.  Activate and run all the "liveupdates" ( I'm at 21.3 )

7.  Reboot again and all should be well ....

Welcome,
Thank you for the information. I'm glad it's working for you. Hope it continues to work through the changes until the final version.

Stay well and surf safe
