Hello

Windows 8.1 will not be supported for very long: https://support.microsoft.com/fr-fr/help/13853/windows-lifecycle-fact-sheet

In fact, Microsoft wants us to migrate to W10

Thank you anyway.

I had an email from an AUTODESK Application Engineer: it's done  with my INVENTOR 2010 & WINDOWS 8.1 version.......

Well I want to say: your vacation starts earlier:)

Hello

A Windows upgrade for Solidworks, a Windows version for Inventor, that's 2 PCs!!!

Kind regards

Hello

Maybe a little test to do:

3. Install .NET Framework 3.5
When you install Windows 8, version 4.5 of the .NET Framework is installed by default. However, older applications often require an earlier version of the .NET Framework. If you get an error message related to .NET Framework, open the Control Panel, click Programs, and choose the "Enable or Disable Windows Features" option.
Windows then displays a list of the various components that you can turn on or off. One of the items on the list is the .NET Framework 3.5, which also includes .NET 3.0 and 2.0. It is likely that installing this component will correct the issue you are experiencing.

And:

9. Provide the app with additional permissions
Some legacy applications (especially those written for Windows XP) fail to run due to inadequate permissions. Here too, the Program Compatibility Troubleshooter can help.
On the "What problems do you notice?" screen, choose the option for programs that require additional permissions. Alternatively, you can also try right-clicking on the application and choosing the "Run as administrator" option (assuming you have administrator rights).

Kind regards

test done.... but it doesn't work!!!

Hello

Well there apart from 2 PCs or changing versions of Inventor I have no idea, sorry.

Kind regards

Hi everyone,

I think you want to use Inventor for consultation, export as a neutral file, etc... Since you are planning to migrate to SW.

In this case I think that instead of two PCs. It's annoying on the desk and you need a lot of sockets. ;-)

You can consider a virtual machine in XP to run your Inventor on your PC in W10. There is good free software like VirtualBox or paid VmWare

You can easily do file transfers from the VM to your PC and vice versa. Do a test to see if the performance suits you.

On the other hand, it provides disk space.

@remrem,

This solution is interesting,....

I will discuss this with our IS subcontractor.

If the @Remrem solution doesn't work, and you go with 2 machines, to avoid having everything in duplicate, you can go through a KVM box (it allows you to have 1 keyboard, 1 mouse, 1 screen to control 2 or more machines)

Hello

For virtual machines there is also "XP mode".

For 2 PCs, there is also the solution of having only one more tower and taking control remotely via "remote connection" or 'TeamViewer'.

Kind regards

Hello

I didn't know XP Mode.

The problem is that apparently it only works on W7: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8002

So I confirm, the best walkthrough would be Win 7... If Microsoft wasn't looking to remove them...

Have a good day everyone!

Exactly, it's no longer xp mode but Hyper-V: http://www.tabletpccorner.net/2013/05/23/pas-de-windows-xp-mode-dans-windows-8-pro-mais-hyper-v/

For my part, I think that the best solution is to switch to Windows 10 to be up to date and compatible with all software and to keep an old PC connected to the network with the possibility of remote connection for all programs that are a little old....

My new HP stations (which arrive in 15 days with SW2017, phew, finally !!) will be equipped with WIN10 and 2 screens

If I take stock of your various comments, several solutions are available to me:

  • Keep the WIN-XP machine and on the network and make a remote connection
  • Keep the WIN-XP machine and via a KVM box, take control of it
  • Virtualize the XP Vault

I'm starting to see a little more clearly, thank you all.

@ G. Sloubi 1 :

Basing a new architecture on an OS that is doomed to disappear seems the right solution to you?

 

Edit: Don't forget that XP is no longer maintained for security reasons. So the connection to the company network and therefore to the internet is for me a risk not to be neglected.

I had forgotten the remote control, the problem is that there is a lag even in the local network, so it really has to be to do minimal (like opening a room, doing an export and transferring to the network).

@remrem: there is the possibility of making a secondary network (by putting a second network card, for example ), or by doing a minimal install that does not access the internet.

The solution we have achieved:

Virtualization via VMware of a win xp pro on our HP z440 win10pro workstations

Installing Inventor 2012+Vault

it works well, for what you want to do with it, i.e. get the 3D of inventor to reinject it into SW, at worst make some modifications in Inventor, but no more.......
