Keil uV4 portable version is not working at Windows 8. How to fix ?
Which can be run through any directory of computer... Not only from C:\Program Files\.... It has no Set up file and can run with a single executable (.exe) file...
So, are you going to say where you downloaded it from?
I can't find it on the Keil website.
I grabbed it from torrent... I really do not have any related link .. and not provided with software..

.... that you are trying to run a pirated version. NO decent person will support THEFT.

Hi Lomas Subedi,
KEIL products can be downloaded legally from here.
http://www.keil.com/download/product/
Keil products use a License Management system - without a current license the product runs as a Lite/Evaluation edition with a few Limitations.
To contact Keil Support team, start from here.

Where does your Windows 8 come from? Why don't you just use Windows XP or Windows 7?
For software development, some tool-chains are available for free.

I just got Windows 8 form Dream's Park, as a Microsoft Acedemic discount... I think this scheme is available only for some Asian countries..

Is your Windows 8 for X86 or ARM?
Why do you think you need KEIL uV4?
First off, I don't support pirating software. If you are going to use software, pay for it.
That said, if you're trying to get any sort of software that isn't currently working in your OS (I have a number of programs that don't work in Windows 7 x64), the best alternative (and it's free for non commercial use) is VMware Player. (if you're needing a commercial version, you can get VMWare Fusion, which is pretty cheap).

You will still need a version of windows that WILL correctly run the software (I have a Windows 7 x86 bit, Windows XP x86, and a Windows 8 Eval Version installed on it) but it will allow you to create a Virtual OS and run programs directly from there. The newest version of VMWare has a "Unity mode" which allows you to run programs from the Virtual OS in VMWare on your main OS. It's actually pretty cool.
In my opinion, that's your best bet to get programs like Keil to work with a newer OS that isn't working.
Once again though, buy a legit copy or find another alternative.
I have been coding with uV4 and uV3 did not supported those projects created with uV4. My windows 8 is *86 type.
Here in my country we do not have such places to buy software. Most people use pirated softwares windows OS.. Everything.... The trend of purchasing software or any other things through internet is not common also credit cards and other options are not available.. I'm a student and I'm just stepping towards embedded system, coding and electronic circuitry.. As per suggestion of seniors I have just picked 8051 and learning gradually. I do not have ideas regarding OS, different software etc.

since you seem to believe it is OK TO DO WHAT OTHERS DO, REGARDLESS OF THE LEGALITY, do not expect much support from here.
There may be a few rogue posters, but most that post here are honest people.

Lomas,
I would recommend using another embedded controller with a free evaluation board. I would start with an ATmega or ATtiny chip from Atmel and use their Atmel Studio tool, which is free. Keil does have it's perks but from a starters standpoint (I think that's what you said your situation was), Keil and 8051 are probably the wrong way to go (especially if you don't have a legit copy).
You can get free samples as well as their evaluation software from Atmel's website: www.atmel.com/default.aspx
Atmel also has a very helpful community with many tutorials here: www.avrfreaks.net/index.php
If you can use an evaluation version from Keil, you will be space limited but can still use it legally but, realistically, the community here is much rougher and tutorials are harder to come by. I wouldn't recommend for anyone to start with Keil/8051 but that's just me.
So to sum it up, if you're trying to learn Embedded Systems, I would definitely not start here. Good luck!
Note: If you are not a beginner and are comfortable working with Keil/8051, disregard this post . . . :p
Thank you, Jeremy Brookley... :)
Since you have a X86 machine for Windows 8, if it is not secured by something like Secure Boot, then you should be able to install another OS on it.
Windows 8 is not good for MCU software development, at this moment.
