Installing Cloverleaf 5.6 on Windows 7 (x64)

I ended up using the VM XP solution and it worked fine as long as i was using a wired connection.  As soon as i changed to wireless i got the same error you are.  Even if i changed the setting the VM tool it still errored out.

Hello, we have the same problem.

A virtual machine is NOT satisfactory answer.

We must be able to use cloverleaf client on MS 7 OS without using a VM.

7 will soon be the most communly used OS.

When will the patch be available (or another solution to solve the problem).

Tank youuuu for your (quick) answer.

As of today there is no release of Cloverleaf (client or server) that is certified on Windows 7.

This is something we are actively working on.  As I have more information I will let the community know.

I was able to install the 5.7 client on a Windows 7 (Enterprise edition) PC by using the XP compatibility mode. I have been using it for about a week now with no issues.

Hi,

FYI : I tried to install the CLV5.6 client with both modes ( with xp compatibility mode and without it ). I didn’t work .

See ya

5.7 on Windows 7 ..

run the install in XP SP3 compatibility mode (not VM, but run in compatibility mode).

for the Patch, I had to modify the batch file ..

runs fine, haven’t had any problems…

Greetings,

For us less than savvy Windows types, exactly what “batch” file are you referring to for modification?   We will be facing the same issue with running the Cloverleaf Client on Windows 7.

(plan to migrate from CIS5.6R2 to CIS5.7R2).

Thanks!

By compatibility mode do you mean the virtual pc?

Can you show us how you modified the patch?

This is what I did to get the 5.7 Rev 1 client running on a Windows 7 Enterprise 32-bit PC.

1. copied the 5.7 client CD to the local hard drive

2. right clicked setup.exe and changed the compatibility mode to XP SP3

3. right clicked setup.exe and ran as administrator, installation ran normally with no errors

4. manually copied the Rev 1 files to the local locations

So far, I have not had any problems.

Ok copying the individual files worked for me.

thanks

Hi all,

We have made significant progress with certification of the 5.7 client on Windows 7.  An official announcement will be forthcoming in the next few weeks.

Due to JVM compatibility issues we will be unable to certify or support earlier releases of Cloverleaf on Windows 7.

I’d just like to add, after spending a little time getting 5.7 running on a new Win 7 machine, to follow the steps on selecting Win XP compatibility on the main application. Then, for the patch, edit the file, go to the part where it looks a bit like this:

@findstr /c:5.1 temp

@if %ERRORLEVEL% EQU 0 goto :windowsXP

and change it to look like this:

@findstr /c:6.1 temp

@if %ERRORLEVEL% EQU 0 goto :windowsXP

Sure beats copying all the patch files over manually.

Does the 5.7 client still require compatibility mode to make functional?

Keith,

We are on 5.7R2, and back in January we asked support about this and they made a CD available to us that contains the “CIS V5.7 for Windows 7 (Pro) GUI + Rev 2”.  I assume it’s generally available…

Hope this helps.

Tried to install 5.6 client on Windows 7, but, of course, I’m getting Java runtime errors.

So, it seems that I’ll need to upgrade to at least 5.7 before I can get this to work.

Pardon my ignorance, but can I run a 5.7 or 5.8 client while the server remains at 5.6, or do I need to upgrade both at the same time?
