Re: iSeries Access and W7 XP Virtual Mode

Windows 7, 32bit or 64bit? I have iSeries Access V6R1 running on a Windows
7 64bit and in VirtualPC guest in XP. Win7 needs to be the Pro version or
higher to support iSeries Access for Windows. When you install the updates
and install the vcredist.xxx files on 64bit, you must also install
the vcredist_x86 as iSeries Access runs both 64bit and 32bit code on a 64bit
system.

Hi Bill,

I know of a place that's running OS400 v4r4, with Client Access v5r4,
and got it working on a Windows 7 machine.

There was an initial problem with mapping drives from Win7 to OS400;
apparently they had to modify a local machine group policy security
setting (didn't say which one). It also seemed to solve a problem with
the CA ODBC driver a VB6 program was using to access the AS400.

I've seen on the list that iSeries Access before 6.1 won't run on
Windows 7. But has anyone tried running it in XP Virtual Mode?
Specifically, we're 5.2.
