Install Eagle 4.09 on Win7 x64

autodeskguest

Hello,

 

Does anyone have experience installing / running Eagle on Windows 7, 64 bit

edition?. The Cadsoft site mentions Windows 7 for 5.x series but not

specifically 32bit or 64bit systems. I currently use 4.09 professional which

won't install. Using a compatibility mode and/or running as administrator

doesn't help. I now use Windows 7 XP mode (Virtual PC) and that seems to

work fine, but i'd rather use native Win7 install (it's a bit quicker

starting / closing).

 

So maybe it's time to upgrade to 5.x (I'm a hobbyist; it's a lot of

money...), but, of course, only if it runs without problems on W7 64bit.

 

Richard

    I believe some of the older versions (don't remember which ones) could

    be downloaded as a .zip file in addition to the installer. Possibly

    due to problems with the installer.

     

    I looked into that; it seems to be for 4.1x only. I've tried extracting the

    WinZip selfextracter file manually, but that didn't help either: when i try

    to run the included "setup.exe", Windows explicitly tells me it's not

    compatible with the version of windows I'm running; I should ask the

    manufacturer for the x86(32-bit) or x64(64-bit) version according to the

    windows version i'm using. At least that's a very clear error message; I've

    seen worse.... So maybe it just ends there?

     

    What happens if you take the entire installed Eagle package from your

    virtual XP, copies it to Win7, and runs it there? Worth a try.

     

    mhhh, i don't think i'm ready to try that yet.... seems like a lot that can

    go wrong. If it comes to that, i'll probably just use it under XP mode. Or

    update.

     

    Anyway, thanks for the input.
