Re: Re: Windows 10 Updates

Steve ...

Not to discourage EccoPro users, the 32-bit
and 64-bit installers work just fine in Windows
7/8/8.1 or 10. Not everybody has an old, used laptop in the attic
or the knowledge to assemble a desktop with old, used parts, an
art to be lost soon - we live in a throw-away world. You might be
even able to install EccoPro manually with the files available and
the knowledge where to copy them including registry entries and
proper permissions. But is this worth your time?

Sure, I got my Commodore 64 Mobile still in the attic.

Win10? Forget it. Buy an old, used laptop -- or build
a desktop with old, used parts that are still available --
and install Win98SE, WinXP or WinVista 32. Dedicate the
platform to EccoPro and keep it off the web.

It should work without too many problems; maybe. If I
get bored I might experiment.

Orphaned legacy applications should probably run on
legacy platforms unless someone wants to recode them in
Linux .... .

Just my ignorant opinion.

Es gibt durchaus andere Stimmen ebenso an "Clicks"
interessiert - there are other voices - "alles halb
so schlimm" - nevertheless, I personally prefer to
stay away of cloud services and other dependencies
to the "Über Father" Microsoft. And since this is an
EccoPro forum, the information should be related to
EccoPro. The new OS does not like programs with a
development stop in 1997 and Installers not
certified by Microsoft, the Master of the Universe,
as experienced by those who upgraded to Win10 and
now get "Unhandled Registry Errors", a permission
error when opening EccoPro. For years the regular
Windows uninstaller doesn’t do a thorough enough job
to eliminate old registry entries, therefore the
rise in popularity of countless third part registry
cleaners. Ask those or google/bing the many messages
of users who try to upgrade their Flash version in
Internet Explorer. I fully understand those who
switch to Linux/Wine.

The simple home user would not know how to
deactivate or adjust Windows 10 functions like
Wifi-Sense nor would he be curious enough to
"bing"or "google" any background info. Regarding
downloaded software, if other Cloud or Online
services like EA, Valve, Sony and other publishers
protecting their intellectual properties do
something similar is not of interest.
