Re: [micro-manager-general] Rebuilding MM under Windows - some issues

[Gordon S. <go...@gs...>]

This may be  completely irrelevant, but I offer it as I just spent many
hours learning it.

Apparently Windows 7 will not install onto series seven CPUs, but it
doesn't say that, at best it simply aborts with an error 0xc0000225.

There are lots and lots of potential reasons why one might see that
error and finding the real cause took time.

I wonder if a similar problem might exist with SDKs.  Probably not, but...


FWIW, I had been trying to _reinstall_ Win7 onto a machine on which it
was previously working apparently just fine after a motherboard change,
but which used to pop up "nag" regular boxes saying that the CPU "was
made for a later version of Windows", and inviting me to buy a newer
copy. ... I was trying to test and prove applications on Win7, _not_ a
newer version.

I'll mention also that Win7 installed and ran well on the same machine
in both the VisualBox and VMWare Player virtual machines, except that
DirectX was not fully supported under Linux on my rather old graphics card.
