Re: Installing CA on W7 64bit

The V7 client will connect to any version of OS, although only the functions that are supported by that OS level will work. I connect to a V5R2 and V5R3 system all the time with no issues.

It is the 64bit that clobbered it. Use the 64bit version of IBM i Access and you'll be good to go.

BTW: do not forget to install the fix package. You will be disappointed if you don't.

I've been running CA 5.2 on 32 bit W7 pro without problem. I think what's
caused the problem is 64 bit W7.

Will a newer version of CA work with OS400 V5R2? Or if I have a newer
version of CA will it work with V5R2?

Al would be laughing at me right now for running V5R2.
