Our application (Mixbus) makes extensive use of Jack on Windows. From 
memory I think Jack's at about ver 1.9.9.8.  Without digging deeper I 
can't be absolutely certain because Jack doesn't display its version 
number in Control Panel.

Mixbus works fine for me in Windows 8.1 - albeit that I only have Win32 
available for testing.  However, we literally have thousands of Mixbus 
users on Windows so there's a pretty good chance that some of them must 
be running Win8.1 / 64-bit.  We haven't had any specific complaints 
about Jack AFAICR.

One issue we did have (in the early days of Win8.1) was a problem 
understanding folder permissions.  e.g. a folder would look like a 
particular user had (say) 'read' and 'execute' permission - but this was 
getting over-ridden because some higher level folder only had 'read' 
permission.  In other words, the folder permissions in Win8.1 seem to be 
cumulative (which doesn't happen in previous versions of Windows AFAIK).

Matthew - is there a way you can run your application as an 
Administrator?  That might help you figure out if there's a permissions 
issue.
