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

    Extractor, from here:

    And with this, I could then extract the data.z file from the installer

    files. This gives me all the files the installer would normally put in

    "Program Files". Going to the bin dir and running eagle.exe does seem

    to start a 4.09 Eagle that works mostly ok. The help system doesn't

    seem to be working, but the rest looks fine.

    I'm speechless ....., that's real thorough research..... Thank's! .  I know

    that the help system won't work 'out of the box' but i think Microsoft

    released a way to make it  work a while back. Anyway, I'm using the program

    for so long now, I can't even remember when i last looked at the help files.

     

    I'll try (this week) and see what I come up with. I'll report back.

     

    Just as a sanity check (if I can't make it work...), did you use the 64bit

    edition, to test this?
