Try the update again and it should be fine. 73 Bill G4WJS.

Pietro Molina #29064 Your mind. Windows 7 support ended on 2020, January. I know that a lot of people has W7 running (my company ha a couple, too) bu support is ended and I bet that prog does not try setup on w7. Pietro I2OIM PS: for the second, wait for reply... a lot of time I had that problem with SW that does not install in program (x86) directory.

Tom Melvin #29081 Hi Pietro Don’t want to start an flame but … For Windows 7 Home and general users you are correct in saying EOS was Jan 2020 BUT FYI if you have the Extended Security Updates (ESU) package it can be up to another three years - support to Jan 10th 2023 https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-client/windows-7-eos-faq/windows-7-extended-security-updates-faq Downside it does cost but many organisation have a Volume Licences for internal/staff use so it does depend on your company and or resources. This is Win 7 Pro / Enterprise. While this applies just to security fixes - as 99% of Windows 7 programs are stable and if there was going to be an issue it would have been resolved. You should really quantify any EOS comment made, they don’t apply across the board. Majority of users yes but not all. Have a good day Regards and 73 Tom GM8MJV toggle quoted message Show quoted text On 28 Sep 2021, at 19:03, Pietro Molina <pietro@...> wrote: Your mind. Windows 7 support ended on 2020, January.

Pietro Molina #29083 Hi Tom, you're right, no flame. I don't understand why people that have W7 on their PC do not upgrade. W10 is less demanding, so if the PC is not very very old (born with XP, I mean), it will run better, in our experience. Despite Microsoft offering (with payment) an EOS, our privacy & security supervisor wanted us to move to W10. Good experience, however. Free of charge. 73 I2OIM toggle quoted message Show quoted text Il giorno mer 29 set 2021 alle ore 11:20 Tom Melvin <tom@...> ha scritto: Hi Pietro Don’t want to start an flame but … For Windows 7 Home and general users you are correct in saying EOS was Jan 2020 BUT FYI if you have the Extended Security Updates (ESU) package it can be up to another three years - support to Jan 10th 2023 https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-client/windows-7-eos-faq/windows-7-extended-security-updates-faq Downside it does cost but many organisation have a Volume Licences for internal/staff use so it does depend on your company and or resources.

chas cartmel #29084 Agreed. Added to that is the issue that some software or peripherals requires runtimes or drivers which are installed with Windows 10 but need to be sourced and installed separately for earlier editions of the OS, and this can cause other issues as well as being more complicated than the Windows 10 upgrade itself. There is no guarantee than some newer products will even work with windows 7, especially as windows 11 is imminent. 73 Charlie G4EST www.g4est.me.uk Stay safe out there toggle quoted message Show quoted text From: main@WSJTX.groups.io [mailto:main@WSJTX.groups.io] On Behalf Of Pietro Molina Sent: 29 September 2021 12:05 To: main@wsjtx.groups.io Subject: Re: [WSJTX] Problem with 2.5.0 setup #install #Windows07 Hi Tom, you're right, no flame.
