OpenGD77

just found i can't run hte latest cps on my old vista laptop that i use for programming radios. nothing after build 20200414 will install and run, the very latest installs but when opened says it has stopped working, sometimes when trying to install i get this is not a win32 application
i have to add that this is not a major problem as i can use a win 10 laptop so no stress if theres not a simple solution

The CPS is a Windows .Net application.

It relies on the .Net infrastructure in Windows. specifically .Net 4.x

I Don't know if that infrastructure can be installed into Vista.

This is the same as the official CPS which the OpenGD77 is ultimately derived from


Did you try installing .Net ?

Thanks Roger, I haven't tried .net yet but I'll give it a go and let you know what happens, if anything lol

hi Roger, quick update .net works ok on vista but all updates after 2020.11.08 wont install saying that they are not a valid win 32 aplication, i know they all work on win 10
regards Bert

Forgot to mention vista is not supported after v 4.6.1, 2015 .net

OK.

I had to update the version of .Net the CPS uses because the SSL / SSH had compatibility with some servers which the CPS downloads from

Its a shame that Microsoft don't support their old OS, but thry only make money selling new OSs and harvesting personal data

Mmmmm, ok, I may have to try loading win 10 onto the machine again ,it wouldn't take it last time I tried but things might have changed, anyway, thanks again for your help it's much appreciated

Windows 7 should also work if you can't install W10

Thanks Roger, I'll have a look later
