MCEGold 3.1.2 SP1 is NOT compatible with Windows 10.

NOTE: If you are running an older version of MCEGold (3.0.3 SP3 to 3.1.2 SP2) on Windows 10 it uses SQL 2008. The latest Windows 10 updates are now blocking the installation of SQL 2008. Therefore, if you need to install, reinstall, or download SQL 2008 for any reason you will not be able to. It is recommended that you either upgrade to MCEGold 3.1.2 SP 3 or newer, which runs on Windows 10 and uses SQL 2017, or locate a Windows 7 computer to run the older versions of MCEGold.
