[Xerte] Xerte vs. Vista

[Paul M Russell (PMS)]

Its not really an Xerte issue but I wonder how many hours developers around the globe are spending on getting perfectly good software developments to work with Vista- I speak from bitter experience!

Thanks. I've already heard from people who have it running.

I have a Toshiba Satellite A205 laptop, dual processor, 1.60GHz, 1GB ram, Vista Home premium, 32 bit.

Xerte installs without issue but when I try to launch it I get an error from windows "Xerte has stopped working. Windows is searching for a solution" Then Windows collects info send to Microsoft and it's over. I do have administrator right and am installing as administrator.

I've tried re-downloading and re-installing several times. I'm using the most current download. Also have rebooted several times. Nothing changes.

One thing that is different about my setup: Windows is on the C:(System) partition, Xerte is on the F:(Application) partition, data is on the G:(Data) partition. The registry is set for all applications to be found on the F: partition.

E:(Localhost) is the localhost partition.

I'll keep investigation and will post the resolution when I find it. Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

I certainly expect Xerte to work with Vista. I know people are using Xerte on Vista and I've not heard of any problems. I did some work recently with someone who was working on Vista and no issues came up. Can any Vista users shed any light on this?

So what happens? Do you get any errors? Did you install it as an administrator on your machine? Do you have admin rights when you try and runt it (though you shouldn't need it)?

Glad you like it.

Morning Julian,

My computer crashed and I bought a new one, It has Vista Home Preimum. Xexrte will not start and I found the system requirement is the Help file says XP is required. Do you expect to be compatible with Vista soon. I really like the program.

Thanks,
