Here's what I would refer to as a test. Try each of the installers within this package BSLoader only (improved) Win 2k-8.zip

For what it is required to do in Windows 8 which is very permissions based, you will need to set the installers to Run as Administrator.

The reason for two options is the small chance the program might be making an error defining which OS and using the wrong approach.
I tried creating a 64-bit version but it did not run properly on my Win 8 at least.

If these versions of BSLoader are not working for other persons, then I guess I will remove it altogether. Yours is the first feedback I've received, which is highly appreciated. It is good news that BearStart does work on Win 8 for some people.
