Anyone have any experience with running Genesys
6.5B under Windows 7 without using XP ?

Greetings: I'm guessing that version is a
16-bit application. The only way to get it to run
on Windows 7 is if you are using the 32-bit version
of Win 7. If you have the 64-bit version, the only
way to get it to run is by using MS's emulator and
running a copy of Windows XP within it. Yeah, it
sucks, but that's the way it is.
If you have the Professional version of
Win 7, the capability is included. Otherwise, you
have to download the emulator from MS (free), and
then install a copy of Win XP (not free) to use
with it. BTW, you can run Linux and other OSes within
the emulator as well. Here is the Genesys
user forum on the Agilent website.

Take care.

Hi Kirt - Thanks very much for info - Its probably
a huge stretch but my older version 5.3 is caled
Eagleware System 32 - which MIGHT mean it was already
a 32 bit program then . My version 6.5B CD does
not say system 32 but IF 5.2 was , I am sure 6.5B
would be 32 bit .
I do not have any version
of Windows 7 yet but am getting ready to replace
my desktop and trying to decide which version to
get. That was the reson for my question . Dell has
an option that they install a "real" , not virtual
machine , version of WinXP Pro and "give" you a
CD to upgrade to W7 if you wish. From what I read
, not sure I want to use the WXP on the virtual
machine inside W7 Pro.
Dell calls it
"Genuine Windows® 7 Professional 32-Bit with Downgrade
Rights Service to Windows® XP Professional"
I would hope one could do a new partition and
have a dual boot machine - the person I talked to
at Dell today was negative about that but I suspect
it is to avoid a lot of grief. (I have several old
WXP programs that I use and they are just fine for
my uses and I really don't want to spend a bunch
of $$ for upgrades I really don't need. )
Thanks for the link to the Agilent forum . I
had lost that , seems like last time I tried to
use that , HP would not give me access because I
was still with Ver 6.5B and had refused to pay $$$$
for an upgrade - so I got a permanent license and
non battery key and was orphaned . Will see if that
has changed.
Thanks again --
Hank
