Re: BPCSCS (6.0.04) running on Windows 7 64 bit

Here it is a little sketchy. For the most part GUI runs ok. There are a couple of Win 7 machines that have issues (don't know why). Mine is one and I run it in XP mode. I believe my machine is different because I have a lot of Developer software on it that may be causing it some issues. I created a XP partition and run all my older software from there.

We are about to migrate our desktop from XP to Windows 7 Is anyone
running the 6.0.04 BPCSCS client in Windows 7 ? Either 32 or 64 bit ?

Thanks,

We run the BPCS 6.1 client on Windows 64; the install is a bit odd. The vanilla clint (no patches) installs on Win 7 X64; the BPCS Bundle and patches do not.
What I do is install the vanilla client; rename the Program files\BPCSCS folder to BPCSCS.ORIG. I have a copy of a patched version of the BPCSCS folder from a XP machine which I copy to the Program Files directory. Once thats in place I run the ACL script from INFOR on the BPCS files to set the permissions for the BPCS files.
We are moving to Win 7 as our XP machines die and right now I have 15 - 20 computers running like this so far without any issues.
