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

[Graham B. <gba...@pr...>]

Thanks Gordon.  FWIW I'm running Win7 in a VirtualBox VM too, so not something I'm likely to run into.  Eventually I'm going to have to update those VMs, but for now it's not top of my priority list so long as they're still working.

Thanks Karl and Jon for your advice too.

	Graham.

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.

Gordon.
